Empires Fall Poem by Joyce Rugg

Empires Fall

Rating: 4.0


Human weaklings now walk
Where dinosaurs once tread
Now an outline in chalk
Their reign long-since dead

We are the new kings
We've planted the seed
Of paranoid generations
Guarding idols of greed

We don't see our decay,
How are we not the best?
Our decline doesnt matter
If we outlive the rest

We endlessly tout the 'era of man'
We think we're the end of evolution
We are the godly, the supreme
But what creature waits for the next revolution?

Who or what will rise when we fall? We might never know, but it's a good thought provoking question.
