The world is not conclusion
She rides the glory and tragedy
Leaving us behind no doubt
A descendent divinity
History a symphony of positives
In a life of necessary suffering
We have no shame, generations
Of maladies, cancer of the Planet
We have no guilt, ecological terrorists
To breed into the billions
Imagine the height of arrogance!?
As the oceans die, in a philosophy of next
Permafrost is melted into the atmosphere
The world is not a conclusion
She is a star among trillions
Her philosophy is ancient
Extinction is not worrisome for her
She has seen a million species scar her planet
But none like us, none like when
Mars was once full of life
We’ll do it again in no time
But will we make it to other worlds?
That is the love affair with time
To survive, we do what we do
In order to survive, for this
God does not have to exist
Or any myth in fact, but it’s helpful
To imagine life as an ambush of bliss
Heaven but a moment away
For reality is an expensive privilege
For which I have outgrown in labour
It may be a forgone conclusion that
We die, but in piercing earnest
The life after death must be a treat
It’s hard to be surprised anymore
In jest, let’s believe in what we please.
This is a powerfully well written poem! Very well done. 🙂
I’m glad you liked the Tone of it 🙂
