Demise of Humanity

DEMISE OF HUMANITY

Among the lethal weapons,
are callous calculations,
happiness in my land
home of the hospitality,
Image of those arsenals!

They're meant for humans.
civilization has been corrupted;
Long before nuclear weapons,
but with a single strike,
civilization will be wiped off

The land we plough,
the soil we till all day,
Assiduity is our watchword.
Civilization was born by Africa,
In our hand it blossoms.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
