Galactic Gothic
The Age of Man
Is but a brief, abbreviated span
Of seconds ticking in a moment’s course.
Infinity: the final source
Is like a charnel house, with cypress tree
And yew and myrtle, growing in the graves of Space,
Where decomposes Time’s own face....

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...

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....

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....

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.

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....

Side By Side
A young Black man and a silver hair White man side by side.  I looked out my window, and I saw a rare and beautiful sight.  No, not hummer birds of hummer while in flight.  No, not blue birds talking in there secret codes.  But a young Black man and a middle age White man together walking and talking enjoying each other company side by side.  Wow!  What a beautiful sight.  Wow!  What a delight....
