Spiralling phantasms laying waste to today
Causing our thread of humanity to fray
Boring below the surface for the life blood
Destroying villages like a scud
Eyes covered with a gloss
Our best intentions have been overgrown with moss
Wallowing in pits of destruction
When we should be looking for our own resurrection
Tempered steel that is our hearts does not falter
We said our I dos at the altar
Never realizing the skeleton was under that veil
Another stud in our coffins we do nail
Our children dangling from the power lines
While we are entangled in those crude vines
New frontiers the young wish to explore
Yet we seem to choose the dinosaur
Our survival seems rooted with the dead
Nestled comfortably in our spike bed
Craters covering our very being
A harsh environment is what I am foreseeing
The things we say
Always seem to be some tired cliche
I wish I could say I was not the same
It would be nothing more then a lie that I would proclaim
The day we tried to live
Was the day we decided to misgive?
It all comes crumbling down
All of us and our jet black crown
Our perfect dreams
Are halted by lifeless screams
Becoming toxic nightmares
As we were too scared to metal in world affairs
Leaving us with horrid visions
It is time too make much needed decisions
Before we loose our great meadowlands
Causing our children to play in chemical wastelands

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.

Dead in greed

I like it Poe but I think the dinosaur has been chosen for us by the big oil companies. They spent a large part of their record profits to suppress the development of alternative fuel. Check out this company and what they are doing. www.changingworldtech.com

I am glad to see this poem helped keep the wheels a turning.
To tru Bodger.
Go ahead Midnitesun they are meant to be kept. You are welcome.
Yes StevenS in the current state of affairs the dinosayr has us by the throats, yet we should have learned the lessons in the 70's yet we chose to ignore it.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
