Frederic Parker Poet Sonnet

Humanity's Last Breath

Humanity's ebb tide flows from dark shores
Leaving the innocent with life's regret
Surrenders morality for greed's wars
Unleashing turmoil that none can forget
Whose righteousness follows the chosen course?
Those who battle hard with their passion's stole
Who leave the weeping lay, with no recourse
Left wounded in battle, an empty soul
Deep in their darkness, find a pit
A hell created by their heart alone
Wallowing in denial, flames commit
Then perish through ages like ashen bone

This hunger for death that you can't rescind
Humanity's last breath, gone with the wind

My most original poem is about the human condition
