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...

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...

but then i fall

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Inspired by the lithograph/woodcut Vampyr II by Edvard Munch - Edvard produced several versions of the same image.
(Viewing art work will help make sense of the poem)

As the daylight dissipates 
I return to the vision
That is burnt onto my brain
Never quite expelled from my thoughts
Each...

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...

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...

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...

Mind busy and spinning
  body parts still
confusion prevails
  mental energy heats
as they send commands in frenzy
  and I collapse....

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...

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...
