Even if I Could Dream...

About the end of the world... And how humans think they're so powerful

Even if I could fantasize, 

There would be fire,

 And the river of my mind,

 Would twist-

 Burn with desire,  

Even if I could dream, 

The world would still end,

 Meteors and falling stars,

 Crashing- 

Exploding into blends, 

Even if I could imagine,

 Imagining is not enough, 

To stop the trumpets war cry,

  The fury- 

The flames of God; ambitious,  

Even if I could hope, 

All my will would still crumble, 

The world we once knew,

 Smoking-

 Poisoned from ashes to rubble,

 Even if I stood against, 

The blow would strike my face,

 It's better to sit and accept, 

The fall- 

The end of the human race,

Author's Note

How beautiful would it be, to stand in the midst of the end of the world like an orchestrator composing his final piece.

The way things are going, you just may get that chance

It would be beautiful

Yikes, could you have possibly ended this poem and a darker place? It is a beautiful write about the futility of life and the ambition of man. At least that's how I read it, though I understand people have read things into my poems that I did not intend. We shall war and kill and likely destroy ourselves. Though it is a beautiful orchestra and taking the place of the conductor is much more settling. A thoughtful piece.

Nope, but isn’t the world beautifully chaotic when it’s dark? I like darkness. Thank you for your review

Thank you for your review :)

This is a powerful poem of the final days Sarah. You are right in saying that we, as a race, think we are so powerful. One good thing to come out of this will be that we come to know we are not all powerful. The structure you have used in this is great and makes it very strong, it feels like a prophet warning us.
Hope you are well during this.
Take care!
Alan

A true statement as always

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."- Einstein
For every living creature, there is a certain cutoff point for its existence, whether all the resources are snuffed out or we brought upon our own demise; there is only so far we can carry on existing. When that happens, dreaming about that solution won't save us because there will be nothing left to dream about. This is a great poem, and a message that is often ignored ( mainly because it causes people to fall into apathetic existentialism)

[LazerRays]

Wow that's amazing opinion right there! Thanks for sharing that with me :D I appreciate the review you've given me! Thankkkkkkksss for stopping by! And I like your profile picture! I used to have that one ;) hahaha.

lol what a coincidence

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You're right, we do get owned in the end. And there comes a time in life where we find ourselves pondering over what's the point of everything and what difference does it make. That's the height of helplessness which we eventually have to accept and which you speak of in here...sometimes, 'hows' really don't matter at all.
I found this one interesting and realistic.

[LazerRays]

Thank you yumna! We always get owned.... Unfortunately. But I guess there's always a point to everything. Like you, for instance ;)
Thanks for reviewing!
