This poem is one of my earlier works, about how the world can turn out to be its own downfall.

_Destruction Cries_

The sky calls   
It chokes it sputters:   
Lives fall   
The ground it shutters.   
And destruction cries,   
"The world is mine."

The ground it shakes   
The earth it splits;   
It shatters and quakes   
The pieces tip.   
And destruction cries,   
"The world is mine."

Hope, it spins   
Its foundation cracked.   
Death, it wins.   
Fate is black.   
And destruction cries,   
"The world has lied."

Earth, wind and fire   
Thunder, water and ice.   
The elements are dire   
Death will suffice.   
And destruction cries,   
"The world has tried."

This life, it fails   
It is replaced by nothing;   
Hope, it bails   
The world is suffering.

When life decides to leave,   
Death haunts our dreams.   
There is nothing more to believe;   
The entire world, it screams.   
Because destruction cries,   
"Hope has been lying."   
Because destruction cries   
"The world is dying."
