Mankind
Walking a tightrope
Our destiny is still unclear
Supreme greatness or eternal damnation
Billions of minds shattered with grief
Death screams echoing through time and space
The universe scared by human misery
Overloading with departing souls
Our grand fathers proved themselves indomitable
Lest we forget their terrible sacrifice
In the icy grip of apocalypse again
Ours could be the stars and all that exists
Are we worthy of survival
Judgement day is upon us

Hmmmm...it's certainly interesting...won't deny that. I have a lot of friends that would completely concur with this piece...

I like the Zen concept of living in the moment. For when one lives in the now, they don't relive the pains of the past, and they don't borrow trouble from the future---and what you speak of, would definitely add worries to my today!
Powerfully written--and scary!

Good one, Zall.
I guess the onrush of Sept. 11 poetry
is pretty much inevitable...
