Humanity's Masterpiece


The sky’s a laughing stock 
For the birds who scream and mock, 
At their home now nothing more than a shadow. 
In apathetic flash 
Mother Nature turns to ash, 
The worlds a sanctuary for the shallow
 
No evil angels fell 
At the resting threat of hell,
The fires flourished in the eyes of the kind.
A promise unfulfilled 
The foundation which they built,
An unbreakable oath rectified in lies.
 
Uninhabitable, 
It’s unfathomable, 
The stars bright smiles used to shine.
In delectable words, 
They injected the curse, 
The death sentence of all that’s right.
 
In the war zone they call a home, 
They sit on their throne - the shadows of catastrophe.
They tell you with promising smiles, 
To stay for a while - in humanity’s masterpiece.
