Death Of Humanity Poem by Elizabeth Ann JohnsonMurphree

Death Of Humanity

Rating: 5.0


In the darkness of humankind's
sorrow the mind's eye begins to
see the weaken spirit; a weeping
brought forward by the beasts of
death.

Do we live in a world of madness,
days and nights on fire with
turmoil, are we walking a winding
path toward certain destruction.
Death of humanity will ride the
quake into a long and tearful
night; the blazing light of day
will open the true self of a
restless world a deviant light.

A steady storm is flowing across
the soul of humankind, fear grips
the heart of fallen men and women;
the state of mind must cross a
threshold into a peaceful existence
if we are to survive.

Darwin had postulated long ago, survival of the fittest theory. It still holds, giving reason to believe that for some people life is only strife and painful agony. On the other hand dawn definitely follows night, thus, indicating that in each persons life there are spells of happiness and pain/despair coming one after another in cycles. One must take life in it's stride and enjoy both joy and grief. In case of humanity too we find that it is upheld at places by some while at other places it faces onslaught of vengeance etc of some others.
