Age Of Man Poems | Examples

Premium Member Welcoming MMXXV !!

Feed the hungry, 
       and the homeless will have no reason to thieve. 

House the homeless, 
         and the people will have no reason to fear strangers. 

Free the people around the world, 
      and civilization will bring the Golden Age of Man. 

Education is a lifelong endeavor,  
              and it starts from birth to the beyond ... 

Enemies who exchange long johns, 
      will walk side by side into the promise land. 

             Let this New Year’s resolution be 
      A revolution of the heart and mind and soul ... 

May enlightenment be bestowed  
                                          upon you, Earthling!

Premium Member The Passing of Man

Distant clouds seem settled upon city towers bringing odd blend to nature and man. Odd in the thought for though of nature, man separates himself in his every action. Concrete and steel raised to intrude and make forceful their existence, yet nature with ages wisdom smiles with knowing smile the age of man shall pass and all his doings with him.


The Mistresses

There comes a time in age of man 
When the earth waves goodbye to the sun 
A lonely tune, a final shun 
Twenty one hundred and twenty one 

Two mistresses at war 
Not counting the genuine 
When the raging goes that far
All angels make a whine 

For the union of the supreme 
Is as mighty as the sun 
The raging in extreme 
Throws the flame that does not shun 

Whether east or the west 
The southeast or the northwest 
Two mighty stones in contention 
Will cast the flame of annihilation

The atoms in agitation 
Will cast the beams of total unrest 
The mighty east and the clever west 
Will shed tear in sour regret

Premium Member Technology Really

Nation's full of devastation,
Famine and drought.
In a world full of technology,
Yet we still can't work it out.
Have we come any further
From when we lived in a cave,
From the iron age of man,
To make chains to enslave.
When people are still living
In huts made of mud,
Has all of this technology
Really done any good.

Earth Black

Earth black
ancient lands
red skies orange 
sands jagged jaded 
two tower stands stand
reaching 
into a dark sky 
storm horizons ride 
the edge of shadows 
Blacken earth
Ruined sands
The hand of man
Jaded towers crumble 
Into stormy sky’s dark
Horizons race to razor seams 
Burning the age of man
As the towers stand


All the Way Out

No comes quickly to my lips
underneath the wave of lies
truth drowns and loses grip
Off the end
I remember before the memory formed
If i could give a 
i wouldn't
Toilet roll telescopes
Shinning panda bears
Careless
Care less
are less
only the guilty con
Fess up
never had a top
Out going
First thing last
Thirst thin gasp
Never caught up
with death
That age of man in your metacarpus
of your multi-fingered appendage
the world in the palm of your hand
but i can under
_________s
_________t
_________a
_________n
_________d
none ever visited
no never visited
and i will never land

Post Truth

This is the age of - Man, I really need  a break!
This is the age, dear brother, when all the news  is fake.
The taxman just took all my cash, the dentist my last tooth,
and Santa Claus they stole away as everything's post truth.
I need imaginary money to pay the imaginary rent.
my debt to  an imaginary landlord for a room I did invent.

How Long Is Long

How long is long 

We live in a society that 
No longer believe in an afterlife 
We, therefore, strive to live as long as possible
Even though, it might be detrimental 
For our or others well- being.
What is the true age of man? I don`t know but
I think when the memory is erased 
When we become a burden, death is not an enemy.

The History of Fear

The History of Fear

To cite the galleries of Fear
This emotion driven here
And eons past how it began
Beginning with the age of man

To search for food without delay
Or searched for food by other prey
Fear to survive by with every day
The threat of Fear moved on in years

The Fear of God instilled by law
regarding Him with so much awe
The Inquisition, genocide
The Fear of credos other than

A peaceful atmosphere incurred
But portions of our life has stirred
Where Fear has donned a different suit
Millenials cannot compute

More mental pain, depressive straits
established egos met their fate
The Fear of coexisting with
That White is right and other myths

For  Fearless is the antonym
A new world order must exist
To love yourself without a care
Eliminate the dread of Fear

The River

The river.


In waves it flows and rages full;
In moonlight it slows and trickles still.
In sunshine it roars a tumultuous call.
The river flows throughout the seasons and throughout the hills.


Down in the valley, the water still runs;
At first just a drip, then a tidal wave.  Its source is unknown.
It echoes throughout the mountains as if fired from a gun;
Its voice tells the same story as it did long ago.


Its people swim freely, never knowing they are entrapped;
Beneath its surface, a civilization is formed.
It gives birth to life and also takes it back;
The river is still flowing…the sunshine is still warm.


The river was eternal, long before the age of man;
Who are we to change nature and build a dam?
Let the beaver’s beaver away and do as they must to be nourished.
Allow nature to do what is necessary and this world will flourish.

Accept Your Fate

Accept your fate


What time is this?
What age of man?
My body feels so broken.
What day is it?
What place is this?
I’ve nothing left to try; I have done all I could.


Who knows what will become of my life?
When I am done in, will my words remain unspoken?
We all become our mother’s daughter,
Or we become our father’s son.


As beauty fades, we seek the shade;
The sunshine is no longer attractive.
In modern times, there is money to be made,
In anything; if we are not too distracted.


The hopes of youth are not often followed through;
Such dreams are fanciful.
If you became the same as you had wished for in youth;
Would you still be so grateful?


Such ambitions are usually far-fetched;
Only realistic aims are achieved.
The fountain of youth is wasted on you;
Accept your fate and leave the next generation to grieve.


Age is just a number and your number is up.
You have lived a long and interesting life, so embrace the end.
Time is continuous;
We are not.
On this you can depend.

Premium Member White Fanged Warriors

Let's start early, let's get this done
Let's walk down the street, we're not afraid of the sun
Though they despise our kind we must set this straight
It's not us or our kind who brought hell to their gates

Humans must live and humans must die, it's the nature of earth, don't ask us why
You think that your kind has the world eating out of the palm of your hand?
But we were here first, long before the age of man.

Vampires we are and through the ages we've seen
Many attempts to live on this spinning ball of green
These aliens invade and you think that your life has-been
They know who we are, they know where we've been

They expected to take your planet without a fight
But we've got to appreciate your kind and we think you're alright
So many ages of us have surfaced to be your protectors, your friends
We're the ones that you need. We won't let this be your end.

We can shape-shift and fly, we can see in the night.
We can feel their heat as they come in to strike
We will fight and win this war for your ball of green
Because we think that you have the ability to be the best species we've ever seen.

Premium Member Billions of Years Before Our Eyes

Years of ice under sky and moon

A great expanse of age un-strewn

A world of new awaiting birth

The sky so blue above the grounds of earth 

Clashing storms light up the sky at night

Like roaring beasts their thunder cries

Billions of stars fill up the sky

Billions of lives live in the tides

Billions of years before our eyes

Hovering above the shallow pools

Where giant insects rule who's cool

Microscopic organisms live in lagoons

After many moons and many Suns 

The world prepares for what's to come

A quiet, restless energy unfolds

The age of man begins to grow.

To Be Or Not To Be

The sands of time will cover all,
   Of mankinds birth in natures womb.
   From chaos to our final fall.

   As ancient lifeforms we did crawl,
   From primeval swamp, to volcanic gloom.
   The sands of time will cover all.

   This age of man now standing tall,
   Will rule the earth, then meet his doom.
   From chaos to our final fall.

   With mans idea of peace so small,
   Our warlike race we must assume,
   The sands of time will cover all.

   Unless somehow we do recall,
   Peace keeps us safe, war will consume.
   From chaos to our final fall.

   So let us stop, and heed the call.
   For soon this earth shall be a tomb.
   The sands of time will cover all,
   From chaos to our final fall.

Man: Matters After Nothing

They proclaim the age of man is ending
Then listen to vision of truth that I'm sending
MAN: Matters After Nothing
Whatever they've got someone else is bound to mess it
‘Cause Einstein came with theories to save the world
They used them to destroy it.
Everyone wants it but God is the only true Intelligence
Now they lose His relevance with their mind's absence
As the presence of an emotionless universe
Being the only fiction in this verse
Now the lost are cursed to the bliss of ignorance
Where they dance to the drum beat
With the incredible noise
Laced with impossible truths from a horrible voice
You make the choice
That is you the one of the seeing blind
Or the deaf listener
Whose chose not to see the hidden transmission from the
Far vision?
Or ...
