Alexis Pond Poem
Unwittingly, through our unsatisfying desire for more,
mankind has given birth to the Colossus.
Able to manifest, and combine the forces of nature,
striking unpredictably, anywhere, anytime across the globe,
not heeding boarders, nor mans defences.
As of now, the Colossus's ability for destructiveness is limited.
Yet still foolishly, blindly, nourishment for the beast is forthcoming,
poisons, pollutants, arrogantly pumped into the atmosphere.
So far as an infant, Colossus has only thrown tantrums.
But to continue, down this road we travel,
fearful we should be, of the day, the tethers break,
and all the matured rage, of the Colossus is unleashed.

Alexis Pond Poem
We're falling, gathering speed, only moments before being incarcerated in a heavenly grasp, land is racing up to meet us.
Impact, we fragment into a million molecules sparkling, glittering, dazzling in the right light.
In no time at all we've merged, from droplet to puddle, to complete surface saturation.
Still the rain falls, beating down the sound deafening.
Searching out crevices following the contours, exploiting weakness, we are strong now, and with every passing moment our strength grows.
Combining, merging, the sense that if this continues, nothing can stop us.
After all we are a force of nature.

Alexis Pond Poem
One day when I rule the world,
there will be no armies,
reasons to fight, non existent.
Knowledge, foods are shared by all to benefit all,
no dominant force,
equilibrium spans the globe.
People would appreciate and care for the planet that we inhabit,
not forever looking outwards for alternatives.
Is this utopia, a fools dream, who's to say.
Maybe one day.

Alexis Pond Poem
Conceived by a solitary mind.
Fulfillment takes, life, blood, sweat, tears given by so many.
But still the sacrifice of so many, does not secure the future.
For the onslaught of nature, unlike man is relentless.
And unlike man, nature has time, all the time in the universe.
A moment in time, are the works of man...
