To Save, or To Remedy?


From reptiles to mammals, none had any idea for what was in store

Underneath the lights in the sky they basked and in a glore they bore a snore

Dreams manifested among the wide scape plains, and ever arching mountains

Albeit simple such as passing their own genes, or having meal, the future lay uncertain

 

As simple as their life was they were oblivious to the ever-present mystic future

Unaware to their contribution towards blackened planet providing the means to see it sooner

 

Preceding the planet’s demise a mere small finite period of the planet one culprit led the raze

This culprit has not been taking strokes but tipping the bucket, wasting the potential to raise

Even with confrontation surrounding the bleak future, it is snuffed out by malicious, raw avarice

The concerns of the many are snuffed out by those represent us indicting our justice

 

The everchanging, unpredictable movement should veil the future, but even so it is clear

The path taken destined to be trampled upon and break, but even so it continues without fear.


 

Fear so strong, its counterpart is a lovecraftian monstrosity that injects madness into a mind.

The only choice is to fight the blind, belligerent beholdens with not anger, but by being kind.

Kindness is something that has immeasurable power to be able invoke change.

My fear is being unable lend kindness to those who spit at me,and berate me. I am not strange.

 

I don’t want to be consumed by hate. I won’t continue it... So please help me stop it.
