Humanities' Suicide Note

Humanities' Suicide Note

A Poem by Rose Downing
"

Picture all of humanity represented by one living being. By all rights that being would be young. What is it we're telling out selves during this crucial time of development.

"
Dear Universe,

    By the time you read this, I will have been raptured. I wish I could tell you why I'm doing this but suffice to say, I put a dooms day in my mythos and not it's gotten so big that I don't think I can stop it. I look at myself and I see starvation, disease, hate and fighting, conflicts between behavior and social norms, and so on, and so on. I've been at conflict with myself long enough. Please take some comfort in knowing that this had nothing to do with you. It would have been nice to see more of you and travel your stars. I may never know for sure if there are any other civilizations in you. I love to explore and I'm sure it would have been beautiful, perhaps even more than your night sky. Maybe I would have even grown to love you, but I have my reasons for doing this. I leave unto you, my only possession, Planet Earth, as it was always yours to begin with. Please don't cry for me. I have to do this. I've been telling myself about this so long that now I have to end my life. I cant stand the taught of me being wrong about a doomsday so one way or another I will destroy myself.
Take care and good by for ever.
    Respectfully yours,
                                Humanity.

This isn't really a poem, but good work. I'm amazed by how much you put into a little note. This is incredible. You really summed up how we would perish if we must. (this is me talking, whom believes strongly in aliens XP) very good. I think you're very good at summing large quantities up. ;)
