'' You Will Not Be Forgiven '' Poem by Bri Mar

'' You Will Not Be Forgiven ''



As our species advanced,
Our intelligence was enhanced,
We then ventured into the stars,
Through the rules of common sense we pranced,
It was onwards and upwards to Mars.

What we'd done here,
Had left us in fear,
Our resources were running out fast,
Soon everything alive would just disappear,
Life on Earth would be well in the past.

When we looked elsewhere,
We just didn't care,
That these planets may belong to another,
Of our own failings we refused to beware,
The truth the human doth smother.

With arrogance in hand,
We could not understand,
When confronted by a superior race,
From landing here you lot are banned,
For humans we've run out of space.

They said get back,
We won't suffer your flak,
All you do is cause others tension,
From us it's you, who are under attack,
You have lived a life of pretension.

When we tried to fight,
They soon put us right,
By bringing us back into line,
War with these beings we could never ignite,
They left us feeling benign.

The planet you've left,
Is now bereft,
Through it's heart a stake you have driven,
The truth is the human was not very deft,
For that,

We were not made to travel to the stars, yet we presume we will ruin this planet before moving on to the next, it won't happen.

If you replace planet with heart in the last sentence, it could be about a breakup.
