Desolate Earth

Image born group

Black damaging smoke swirls in the red sky
Thick and bellowing overtaking the air
Sucking out the oxygen, the earth does cry
Eyes can only look upon with glassy stares

Engulfing orange flames spring up from the ground
Chard sand blazing, desolate beyond repair
Crackling, with sorrowful mourning sounds
As destruction blazes with a consuming flair

Rock formations left to the fiery pits of hell
Chard beyond recognition, crumbling down
Sulfuric odor swirls around, a gagging smell
Devastation left, vanishes in flames, a town

War destroys all that its greedy fingers touch
Leaving burned, crumpled ruins in its path
is different opinions worth hating this much?
Desolating the earth because of human wrath

Hell fire and brimstone...this is a dark and desolate picture you painted, but I guess that was the point. Very vivid images painted here, it has me sweating after reading it. As always nice work, I still have to write mine for the group, it gets harder with all the talent in the group these days.

Ground zero, This piece can fit the many scenarios of how the world could end. I Like the choice of words you use to describe the outcome it allows me to visualize as I read.
Great job well done.

Reminded me of one of my poems about a soldier during the war. Very dark and quite disturbing piece. You paint a very good picture that describes in detail the horrors of war. Really well done.

I tell people don't blame God for this world end. Us human will destroy all things that are beautiful. Today in some city parks you need to pay to see a trees and the few surviving animals. Your words tell a true story with great skill. I had to read a few times. A outstanding poem.
