Anthropogenic Poems | Examples


Premium MemberUnanchored Life In Brainstorm

The hidden blueprint of destiny encoded in gene
manifests in marvels of anthropogenic evolution,
constructs shifting designs of life’s kaleidoscope, 
changing with the time and morphing with vision
of the complex landscape of innate human nature 
the architect brain makes.

                                  The unique vast domain,
depth endless, carved out in the nebulous space
where the soaring birds of imagination freely fly,
where the crimson sun of dream rises and sinks,
the floating mind finds lighted way on the wave
the flashing brain makes.

                                  The transient lone voyage,
destination obscure, in uncharted course on sea 
when life is struck by the tsunami shock of agony,
when clouds of dementia dispel neurons of hope, 
the wrecked life drifts losing anchor in the storm
the turbulent brain makes.

We Are Flotsam

(with a spark of God)

To govern a myriad selection
Of one mind and legion.
Top tier parasitic collection
From every living region.

It's not subjective good or evil,
Moral or immoral, right or wrong --
But, a wanton cellular mass primeval
Versus ego and super-ego strong.

Toxic algae over jellyfish abundant,
Floating in poisons of our making:
CO2, methane, livestock redundant.
Do Vegans dream of plant life taking?

Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram:
Brain-dead sheep of the clan,
Following blindly without exam,
Trading for virgins on Ramadan.

Black holes wandering
About Yellowstone caldera.
Plague virus pondering
A Thermonuclear plethora.

Anthropogenic extinction sirens:
Suffocating on dead Phytoplankton;
Lost in narcotics and hallucinogens;
Obsessive love via Keats and Byron.

At the precipice of an extraordinary evolution,
We must rid ourselves of ancient superstitions.
To continue our rise, or reverse in devolution?
Agnosticism seems wise -- so say my suppositions.
