'' We Have Failed Life's Ultimate Test '' Poem by Bri Mar

In our quest for knowledge it’s ourselves we’ve betrayed,
As our planet we self destruct,
It’s Ignorance for all others we have displayed,
Our responsibilities we have ducked.

Guardians of the planet is just so untrue,
Destroyers is a better description,
Devastation of all life is what we pursue,
There will be no miracle prescription.

Even now we refuse to accept any blame,
For all the neglect and abuse,
Instead of hanging our heads in shame,
We become even more obtuse.

Our arrogance and ignorance we refuse to believe,
That’s a major cause for concern,
If truth be told Humans live to deceive,
From our mistakes we refuse to learn.

As the end draws nearer we still show no remorse,
Could it be that we just don’t care,
The plight of others we refuse to endorse,
We can’t say we were not aware.

The others I refer to are the birds and the bees,
Why are they becoming extinct?
Mother Natures warnings we refuse to appease,
Why can’t we see that to us it’s all linked?

In the end we believed our own scientists hype,
Scaremongering is what they claimed,
For a new species takeover the time is now ripe,
Our planet will now be reclaimed.

We were given the chance to live the dream,
In all respects we have failed,
We thought as a race we were supreme,
Upon our failures we have been impaled.

The warnings signs we have continually ignored,
Because we thought that we were the best,
The damage to our species cannot be restored,
