Humanity's dying Spirit

 

 

Humanity, once radiant and bright,

Now cloaked in shadows, losing its light.

A poetry of sorrow, I now proclaim,

For our collective spirit drowning in shame.

In the corridors of power, greed's venom spreads,

As empathy and compassion hang by fragile threads.

The world weeps silently, its heart torn apart,

As we witness the erosion of our very own art.

With blinded eyes, we turn away from the cries,

Ignoring the pain, the suffering, the endless sighs

Inequality grows, the gap widens each day,

Leaving the marginalized, forgotten and astray.

Wars ravage lands, leaving scars in their wake,

Innocent lives shattered, for the powerful's sake.

Hate breeds like wildfire, consuming our souls,

While love and understanding retreat into holes.

Greed and power hold humanity's reins,

As compassion and love slip through the chains.

Hatred and division poison our souls,

As humanity's essence slowly erodes.

We build walls instead of bridges, it seems,

Ignoring the plight of our fellow human beings.

With every war waged and innocent life lost,

Humanity pays the unbearable cost.

The Earth cries out, burdened by our disdain,

As we plunder its riches, inflicting endless pain.

Species disappear, ecosystems decline,

Yet we turn a blind eye, consumed by our own design.

Let's rekindle compassion, ignite the flame,

Embrace diversity, let love be our aim.

Reach out to others, lend a helping hand,

For in unity, we'll reclaim what we've banned.

Let love be our anthem, compassion our creed,

And humanity's dying spirit, we shall feed.

With open hearts and minds, let's rewrite the story,

And resurrect the essence of our shared glory.
