It’s a short existence <br />But a long ride <br />All gone in the blink of an eye <br />All mighty overseeing ever present <br />Never leaving receiving life <br />Through corneas peripheral’s infinity, <br />At long last we die without seeing the light <br />Because it’s long past in darkness every sight <br />Of humanity not a damn thing different <br />The nature of man is basically unchanged <br />Pride, Greed, and Envy <br />Fear, Loneliness, and Sympathy <br />Struggling alone Suffering in silence <br />Chaos loud as hell <br />Evil breaking barriers <br />Of sound surrounds us <br />The good in man trembles <br />And slow to react <br />In a world of confusion we all seem to relax <br />Rely on fantasies to dull our senses <br />And void us of our duties <br />Assembling in packs distributing our guilt<br /><br />Darrin McMiller Jr.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/planet-of-the-children/
