Best Collapse Poems
When production is at an all time high,
but the few who are employed are struggling to get by,
because purchasing power has taken a rapid descent,
Everything Soon Stops, no more working system.
We are all currently headed in that direction,
the inevitable collapse of the monetary system,
not just in my country, but all of the world's nations,
who continue to enforce this failed antiquated system.
This will not require the overthrow of any government.
Just leave it alone and continue being complacent,
and it will overthrow itself in the end.
The transition can be either peaceful or violent,
but if we are to make a peaceful transition,
we must all begin some immediate planning,
because I can see this all very likely happening,
within the time frame of the present generation.
Verge of Collapse…
I look around me at friends and enemies
Unable to really tell who is who?
A handshake with one hand
And a back stab with the other
Depending on which will suit their needs...
I fall prey to the theory that all men are good
A fool in the darkness is what I’ve become
A change in the making for better or for worse
I will stand alone, apart from the others
As much as I’ve done for the people I know
No thought of myself getting anything in return
The benefit of others was my only cause
Now for the benefit of myself and only those I love
I have been living on the verge of collapse
Carrying the weight of my world
Bend till I break on the verge of collapse
Carrying the weight of the world…
Wolves in sheep skin that I have let in
In the den of the devil I now see deep within
Beneath the surface I see the true face
Of the demon inside that must be erased
So hard to be truthful yet so easy to lie
So hard to tell by the look in their eyes
Time is the keeper that will set all truths free
And somewhere in time they will have to face me
I have been living on the verge of collapse
Carrying the weight of my world
Bend till I break on the verge of collapse
Carrying the weight of the world…
Sins of the past always come back to haunt me
Though I’ve forgiven anyone against me
In my heart I have changed for the better I think
But my soul I thought cleansed is still on the brink
Pray to my God for an end to this dream
More of a nightmare than I could believe
To do right, to work hard, and at the end of the day
Be at peace with myself, again in silence I pray…
I have been living on the verge of collapse
Carrying the weight of the world...
I must refrain from
wearing a mask of depression,
Still retain joy in this deep
recession. Give America a
reason to be, but I must also
decree; that if this world goes
under, society must not
stumble.
But in a dark age of oppression,
we must rise up, and make the
difficult decisions. To keep the
world in disposition, to rise up
and recondition. In this new
world government, we must
rebuild. Reconstruct and regain
tranquility, rather then passing
new bills for these new issues
that arrived because of thee.
We must amalgamate, to
create an environment that is
suitable. For the future of the
commonwealth, retire these
decrepit values, upon which
this country was propagated.
In order for this earth to
burgeon, the earth’s population
must reconciliate. Any being,
man or women, any race
abiding within our communal
purlieus.
For these reasons I must ask
the world to not accept the
future, but instead make a
change to better it. Hopefully
society will never relapse, and
cause another fatal collapse.
Wild fires signify the world is burning
Pollution ravaging the seas show the tides not turning,
Pesticides pollute the air and earth and what makes it worse
Is it infiltrates our food supply and puts us all risk,
Yet still the multi nationals want to make it harder still to exist,
By fracking fuel that poisons the water tables and cause quakes
And those who cannot see this are not ing awake,
The planet is overheating as the ice caps melt
And sooner rather than later these effects will be felt,
And meanwhile man keeps driving animals into extinction
If some told about this years ago you would think it science fiction,
And if that’s not enough capitalist, right wing Fascistic governments
Are driving people into food banks causing more homeless people on the street,
So with the collapse of society, the environment and earth
We must start questioning will we get what we deserve,
A planet that we can’t live no longer on because of our destructive ways
The ferryman is coming soon and mankind is going to pay.
Collapse
Hopes and dreams shattered pieces on the ground
Heartache and depression abound
Pleaders call for redemption, in this time of woe and want
Destiny and hope collide with atomic force
Sins natural course
Lost in uncertainty and doubt
Chaos threatens, calamity spread all around
Tribulation and wrath await, this our fate
heart swells and explodes
with love
but then i fall
its chaos and death from above
Mind busy and spinning
body parts still
confusion prevails
mental energy heats
as they send commands in frenzy
and I collapse.
Everything is collapsing around here
Let me take a breath once more
Heal my wounds, my scars and fear
I want to be the girl that you never loved
I want to be the woman that you are looking for
You know more
You don’t know enough
But you know more
You know what lies beyond my smile
You know more than you think
I’m half way a laugh
Mary you are nearly a laugh they said
Mary you are nearly a coward they over said
Can you look at my weary eyes ?
Can you manage my sudden lies ?
I’m losing control
My body is my soul
And my soul is forsaken once more
Do you think that with your pity you could get me down ?
Do you think when you abandon me you unleach my crown ?
Ancient Time Collapse
Ancient time collapsed on mirrored distances
Taking history, its ripples, down in the sand
Lost in the reflected wide eyes of children looking up
They will never know what time it is
Archeologists use the suns surveillance guidance system
Sextants by sea employed, sojourning to history
Compass by land, to point the way more solidly
Tools help them seek the depths to find their level
To shed light on missing times and parts gone dark
Sun fills the void once opened on the past
Apparently there is not enough light in the sky
Clearly there is not enough sight in the universe
To find what they are looking for
Exposing oceans of rocks and sand
Not much more
Mysteries undertaken in the making of the dig
Scientists unearth, burn, work, bake under sun
Nothing found underground can live forever buried
Mixed together, former human parts with sand, comingling there
Winds grind and blow the bones around about the rocks
Exposed on surface, air turns remnants to powder, so everything is fine
Mirrored in the distances are facts and fiction
Hollow words that fell through cracks
Collapsed with long gone columns
Not so solid at this hour
What stories history could tell us if we reassembled ancient artifacts
Separated them, along with sand and stone and bones
Still on the most wanted list of history
Forgotten and unknown
Radioactive fields where golden grain once grew,
magnificent churches, razed right down to the pew,
Kulak farmers starved out, four million of them dead,
free though and expression only lived in your head,
lives destroyed by camps, that archipelago,
how many lives vanished? We’ll probably never know.
Rivers all polluted by bad ideas deployed,
Russia learned it first hand: Socialism Destroys.
Even now in Cuba, the Carribean’s jewel,
people live in chains thanks to Marxist fools.
A country once wealthy off a grand sugar trade,
now drives around in junkers, all left from past age.
People still vanish if they say the wrong words,
so desperate to leave they swim an ocean that churns.
See that island prison and you cannot avoid
the truth of the matter: Socialism Destroys.
Glance to North Korea, if brave enough to see
a stark, ruined nation stripped of most of its trees,
it has a huge hotel in which no one will stay,
and most of its people struggle to eat each day.
Millions of them in camps, millions more try to flee,
you know things are bad when they run to the Chinese!
Despite their media throwing up poor decoys,
all who look still see it: Socialism Destroys.
And poor Venezuela, once rich and on the rise,
now it is convulsing and preparing to die,
so flush with black oil, now the rigs sit quiet,
once fed, now its people face unwanted diet,
female doctors whore out themselves to buy some food,
refugees are running to find some place that’s good.
By economic laws all tyrants are annoyed,
they cannot escape it: Socialism Destroys.
In our own ‘great’ cities we can see the same trend,
a path to poverty, a horrible dead end.
Once great Detroit is now a sad, crumbling pit,
San Francisco’s roads are covered in human sh-t!
Seattle will jail you for drinking form a straw,
Chicago’s a war-zones with little rule of law.
These once proud cities that people used to enjoy
sink into slow decay, Socialism Destroys.
I'm on the path to a massive collapse like the NASDAQ
I never asked for your lack of compassion so you can have it back
and love is just a mask that we wear when we act tragedies
just as fast as it happens you're snapped back to reality
trapped by your past as you battle morality
it was bad while it lasted
always in the aftermath of disaster
like back when I smashed the gas and crashed through that house with the hatchback
and after that, if only to add to the excitement
I was snatched by a task force and slapped with a stack of indictments
I've basked in my doubts and the shadows it casts
on the reality of happily ever after,
if or when exactly it's supposed to happen
and after I've passed into ashes, my name scratched in epitaph
if, in fact, there's an afterlife- will it have me?
if this all an elaborate test did I pass, though I acted badly?
When once I sat and pondered the definition of heartbreak
I realized mine changed almost as quickly as I matured.
My toddler heart broke when Rover stole my ice cream.
My Kindergarten heart broke when Susie was cast as Cinderella.
In middle school it was whenever someone called me fat.
Home alone on prom night, chest a bonfire of pain;
That perfect job I didn’t get and heart broken again.
The thing is, the fuller the heart with love, hope
The greater the pain when broken, like two storm-fronts clashing.
So news my daughter had cancer broke heart, soul, spirit.
January 16, 2019
I had a dream last night
a disturbing dream it was
I saw in clear vision something
Mountains of Kilimanjaro
Kenya, Elgon, Ruwenzori
and Atlas, Adamawa, all mountains
in the African continent
collapse into the Pacific Ocean
The living Dead tried to stop them
Militaries tried to stop them
Peoples of Africa tried to stop them
but the highlands went into the Ocean
without trace, with enough warning,
Seven hundred seventy seven years,
of slow but active disappearance
I inquired, “what about Drakensberg”?
“Listen. That one collapsed….!
a long time ago… in the Atlantic!”
And I woke up, but not in my bed!
On my knees in my bedroom, surrounded by
Emotions too strong, no wonder I cry
We had only just met, a few months ago
I gave unto he, as he internally showed
Week by week, my heart captured by he
We even carved our names, in the park on a tree
He told me he loved me, so captured I was
I gave unto he, as he externally pawed
Naive, but so young, my life went with the flow
My heart in know, in excitement pump I'd grow
I'm fourteen years old, I'm not really me
But inside I carry his child, who one day will be free

you trample on my heart
you bruise my feelings
you walk all over my face
you stomp on my soul
i mean nothing to you
i am nothing to you
you are everything to you
you care of only you
love is insignificant
friendship has no meaning
this ache is all that matters
the pain is overwhelming
tears flow like a river
eyes glow like a volcano
hands shake like an earthquake
my body is collapsing.....
like the world around me
