As I Watch From Space Poem by Seph Dent

As I Watch From Space

Rating: 3.5


As I watch from space
A smile on my face
It was the greatest work of art

But what have I built
I'm overcome with guilt
I should have known right from the start

It's the fault of mankind
With their twisted minds
And the hatred that lies in their heart

As I look all around
It's all falling down
They are tearing my world apart

Power praised and evil paid
Status based on money made
Good for bad - a common trade
The poor and weak are without aid

Priests and politicians lie
Animals and people die
The rules are set: An eye for an eye
I let them live but wonder why

They steal from their brother
And cheat one another
I pity all of humanity

Yet they call themselves good
Which he said they would
How can they live in such vanity

Sin a profession
One quick confession
And they call it Christianity

They live in such grief
I'm in disbelief
They've reached absolute insanity

The humans fell
Straight into madness
Forever alone
I watched in sadness

I spoke quite clear
'Don't touch the tree'
But they ate the fruit
They all ignored me

And so I must
End the lives of all
A smile on my face
As I watch them fall

Feel my wrath
As I cast this spell
I declare Armageddon
And end this hell

Hi, being truthful here! This is an amazing poem! It is true humanity is becoming less and less aware of their crimes. And already, someone has written my thoughts in a poem. I won't call you a copycat, coz you win this time :) could never write such a poem like this! Tiegan
