We fight and annihilate
for sole proprietorship
to be a big shot for the speck of a spot
...floating somewhere on oblivions wave
from our industries of slaughter
all civilisations have chartered
to win their grand plots for this tiny blue dot
...marooned in the still life of the universes grave
Man is so foolish and egoistic that he forgets that he is just a small dot in this vast universe.
Profound poetry, most pertinent writing, kind words, but emphatic narrative. " industries of slaughter " is really marvellous and forceful phrase.5 *s
Mr. Patrick you are ahead by a century Bravo! let there be peace
Leaders who orchestrate and go into war to acquire territories must learn from the wisdom enunciated in this great poem. To my Poem List.
Yes, people turn to savagery to increase their power and domain. Yet, life is just ephemeral and we live in just a small dot, making their conquer and power useless and futile.
Powerful, incisive and very thought provoking poem with a great title.
You continue to amaze me with your profound poetry, Kevin! Outstanding!
A terrific poem most powerfully worded Kevin........10
