"humanity:"

By muckraker

remaking rock
to look like a liveable endeavor.
distorting space,
overpopulation eyesores everywhere.
can't find a spot where
you don't see an electrical line
ruining the sunset.
why can't we be like lemmings?
i know plenty of cliffs to jump off,
and plenty of people
i wouldn't mind seeing take a tumble.
some need help,
a stone to stumble on,
call it fate,
a word to mumble...
yawn.

  • A former member wrote: I can't help but agree with Alone, I was deeply involved in this one then the "yawn" seemed to come out of nowhere. Or perhaps that was the point, that deep thoughts are worth nothing more than a yawn. Hmmmm.

  • A former member wrote: Beautiful, you hade me till the last line, then i kinda slipped away, for to me there was no yawning involved , full attention was deserved...beautiful write!
