A Poem by Jake Staffeld

As we watch you

From far away

We see your foolishness

As you destroy your home

 

We would interfer

But it's not our place

Anyways, we're too far away

So that's too bad

 

We hope you solve these issues

But you probably won't

As major powers destroy each other

Dragging yourselves into hell

 

The flames are covering your creations

It's gotten too hot for you

Too many wepons kill the survivors

Oh, you're lost for sure

 

As we watch from across this black space

We wonder what would've happened

If we'd stopped this

From going down

But it's too late now.

Can't think of an appropriate title.. the only thing I could come up with is "Too Late" but I think you could come up with something better if you just worked at it. I really love the theme of this poem.. of the aliens watching from far away as a planet destroys itself from the inside. Very well done. All of the stanzas are great, but stanza three is super powerful.
