(aag) Mushroom Of Doom Poem by Edwin Alba Empestan

Today the cosmos is in peril
with its sophistication
In its nuclear race among
wealthy and strong nations
But no one cares how it will
create havoc in our future
Everyone just busy doing their
craft for their wealth to nurture

Destroying the order of life’s
sources for our own survival
Wealth so much to our attention
as if preserving for our archival
Forgetting that we only need so
little in order for our human existence
Greediness, so much attraction to
worldly things and men’s insistence,

Like “Humpty Dumpty” men soar to
power, greatness and fame like immortal
Technology becomes amazing but
more people becomes a mere mortal
Human values becomes so eroded,
perverted and no heed to values of life
Racing against time each nation turn
against each other leading to strife

As history repeat itself for worst each
nation duel for death to the end
No one can stop now, only irrationality
and survival seems would be the trend
Proving one’s superiority and might is
now the name of the game to loom
Now the climax, the most fearful event
come and release the mushroom of doom
