Destruction

Destruction is what we as humans do 
we cause this, we are the catalyst 
we try, but there is no fighting this 
it consumes a person whole 
so destruction is only one, rabbit hole 

As we fall down, we are embraced 
in this detestable darkness, no one, wants to face 
we are captured, and tortured 
we are scars on this planet, like scorched earth 

So why do I, sit by? 
as l watch this calamity, a tear stumbles out my eye
I cry 
because I want to accept the lie 
that I can’t change the world 
”I’m just one guy”

As a single person we can not stop the destruction, but by joining a grouo fighting for it, we can have a voice. And by talking about it, in poetry or otherwise, we show we care. Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
