World Shattering Poems | Examples


In The End

While the universe is ever-expanding
life on earth becomes even more demanding
despite a few one or two
world-shattering improvements
man is still wallowing
in the proverbial primordial
and if this road he insists on following
our future looks severely bleak
as where once we were happy winning
we're now all on a losing streak
yet history has taught him nothing
that and his memory is short
no thanks to his stupidity
between rocks on a hard place we are caught
but what about our children
those innocents who go unsung
there's not a lot for them to look forward to
that bell can't be unrung
as the genie is out of the bottle
what with plastic and fossil fuels
here's one last thought
I'm glad I won't be around to witness
the final endgame result
of what we silly fools hath wrought

Escatological

Then I heard a thundering and rumbling sound.

Spreading faster than electricity.

Deafening every ear.

Then I saw the sheep and the goats.

Bleating out of their pens.

Suddenly all turned to goats.

Every green matter wilting and dried up

Every water body dehydrated.

And I saw the world shattering down.

Like the Babylonian tower nothing left unbroken.

Akin to the land of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Nothing left alive.

Then I saw a blazing hungry fire.

Consuming the carcasses.

The Lord standing on a cliff.

With a glittering sword at hand.

Dazzling eyes with an angry face.

@Tha Formidable Cheru.

Stockholm

Every night I cry
myself to sleep for I
cannot see the point
in life after you die
My world shattering 
all around me
My quivering heart 
an amputee
It doesn't matter at all
I'm just waiting for the fall
