Nothing Left

I have walked upon this earth for thousands of years
and have evolved to the being I am today
I have left no stone unturned
and I have tried to better myself; in a way,

From the day that I was created
and still I have not learned
I do not walk alone on this earth
and my passage; I have earned,

I share this earth with creatures I have met
and through my selfishness I have seen
Over the wilderness that I have trod
and robed the earth of it's beauty, green,

I have torn down the creations of nature
Ripped the heart out of the earth until death
But I still continue to falter
Until there is nothing left

Annie.

When there's nothing left?

What you've got there is a hole, just waiting for a seed of possibility.

(I know. I almost made myself wretch.)

It just happens to be true, though.

Good luck lovie.

I just think holes are under-rated.

(But I'm fron N'awlins, so that's only natural I would think that. )

It's in scripture too, though.

You can't fill a vessel already filled.

So when something seems hopeless and empty (including our lives and spirit) we should anticipate, yes?

See? You made me think of all of that!

A good thing, I think!

there are no holes mentioned in the poem
it is about the journey of man and the destruction that some have caused by ignorance
but isn't that the way most learn by making mistakes

I apologize if I took an interpretation not intended.

It won't happen again.

mea culpa

*peace*

"Nothing Left" implied a "hole" (meaning something to be filled) to my meager mind's interpretation.

I meant no insult.

I apologize.

I sure hope mankind gets it right before it's too late.
A very note-worthy poem! Well said!
