Vanishing
Vanishing
Vanishing to be banished in the quiet deafness of not listening, a selective blindness to the warnings of what’s going wrong.
While firing mind impulses of confusion, we fail to have a conscience to recycle our ways of thinking and doing.
We are being eaten alive by our incompleteness of using until it’s all used up, misplaced in waste being a waste of time.
Never free from drinking the poisons of participation, drained from the deep wells of this evolution of pollution.
How do we separate the mass murder of trees and seas, from our toxic pleasures?
Landfills of hedonistic satisfaction, never fully measured to the sacrifice of the tragedy of sorrows when living for today to die a quicker tomorrow.
It’s a human degradation, a continual blasphemy against this world’s survival.
Where’s the obsession to avoid self destruction; is it lost in an indifference of having to own up to our own personal hole in space?
The planets fever is subconsciously going up, the heat never coming down – short circuiting existence in apocalyptic revelations.
We must view all that we have persecuted - the sky is bruised from our abuse, swallowed up in gradual disappearances.
Melting from shriveling sun rays; earth’s immortality is being executed as it dissolves through the trap door of an emptying atmosphere.
How do we replace the diminishing oxygen of our infinite sadness, for we can feel the air drowning us?
Current quality of life abandons us to live knee deep in the filth that has become our gas chamber?
Don’t let the combination of our generation’s last breath be the demise of every tomorrow.
In this human house we mustn’t be content in waiting for a certain death; if we cease to do we cease to be.
Tears won’t purify the sickened and stained waters, and falling birds don’t fly.
To what extent do we forfeit infinity, can’t we all bear witness in that we’ve become an endangered species?
Vanishing to be banished in the quiet deafness of not listening, a selective blindness to the warnings of what’s going wrong!
