Try To Survive

This poem has a deeper meaning with every line. Don't dwell on other things focus on you. What can you achieve? You have the whole milky way :)

Try To Survive

Try to survive the wrath of mankind.

The Earth around us trembling inside,

The Water we see but we cannot hide,

The Fire of light that keeps us alive?

The Wind we can hear but yet to be justified.

Try to survive the creatures we fear

We pull and they hear, their null because where near, we cull now they fear.

We walk their lands and sail their waters.

Quickly capturing their home quarters.

We created our path. 

With the elements of life and the creatures were beside.

Why should we fear? We need them here.

Try to survive our own humankind.

The first age we battle. With stones and bows.

To swords we strike. To guns, Bang! light.

But all that is weak. We talk a powerful ignite.

This is life, drowning our sorrows and burning our lost souls.

Happiness, Sadness, Anger and Fear. All we do is try to survive.

But yet, have we ever looked on the outside?

There are many problems that have us in divide.

Just stop every once in a while.

It's not about the pay or sacrifices you made.

Remember you're just a tiny speck in the milky way.

Wow.....never knew you could come up with something like this. Makes my efforts look so bad. Seriously S J K you really do have a talent, Welcome to Writers Cafe you'll like it here and any problems or questions you know how to find me. Thanks for sharing it with us all

You asked how to post a poem, but obviously had advice since asking me! May I suggest you say a little less in your Author's Note box. Why not an introduction then, let readers/reviewers say what they think. You can then comment further underneath the initial review. Don't give everything away, perhaps!

Your words positively and imaginatively drip down the page, so many emotions shown, so much thought displayed by you, the poet. Your metre and phrasing is exceptional for 99% of the write, Was and am so impressed I've read twice and will undoubtedly come back to read the above again.
Plus watch out for your future work.

NB Not only are you thinking and feeling your planet and its place in the galaxy - vast though it all is.. you're already analysing how Mankind should go forward, that takes courage. Great work.

Jeez, I read it once and can't stop reading over and over. This is a real eye opener. It should be the default anthem to humanity activists.
