Human Nature

When chaos brings civilization to its knees From world wide pandemic critical disease Or when a tsunami consumes everything beyond the shores Swallowing the landscape and changing life as we know Earthquakes shake the very foundation of this world Or an astroid penetrates the cradle of birth Bring us back to the primitive unleashing the truth From the umbilical chord we are more ferocious than rabid wolves And we will kill fellow man just to survive Or just for the desire of taking ones life What is compassion but a dead corpse on the road Adrenalized by fear no time for sorrows No need to worry about a world war zombie apocalypse We're already flesh eating monsters wearing dead skin Most people panic when they lose internet or their lights Autonomy is just a word most people can no longer define And your money isnt worth *****so forget trying to buy Your way out of cleansing while you run out of time So learn to die well and hold your loved ones real tight As you pray that your death will let you ascend to new heights Beans, bullets, and bandaids are all that I'll need To keep population zero from taking over me **** being hopeful could we really be so naive To think that in these days we could some how find peace When our mother earth gets restless and releases all of her worst The only thing more destructive is our human nature

The chaos we've created as humans is indeed coming back towards us with intensity. Such truth expressed in your piece, Jesse. Amazing honesty, and imagery. Keep up the great writing. Check out some my poems, might find some you like. Peace.
