#humanity poems on Hello Poetry

Alexander Simpson Feb 13

I: your kin: the sinew sin.

My breath,
                          this spark,
your life,
                          my flame,
ennobled strife,
                          divine ordained.

Oh Friend,

I do not love for love’s sake, nor listen to the wise.
Neither do I heed, this ant before the rise.
Dawn a royal colour, skin the Earth and Fall;
I do not tread untrodden paths, my heart a starry squall.

For I alone stand tyrant, lord of pure thought lands.
I alone sit throneless, my seat a thing of sand.
Mortal in my make, flesh and bone my grant,
I alone fly wingless, soul: immortal: Man.

Umbilical cord

An umbilical cord
Grown from my backbone
To assure a structure, a stronghold
In humanity's songs

Holds me from eternal darkness
To halt me from expanding nothingness
Yet to sight the stars' brightness
Their uniqueness

It holds me from behind
Makes sure I don't fall in line
The darkness amongst light
The foul upon the stars

The empathy of an everlasting night
To keep me from an unimaginable fright
Away from gaze of awful heights
Never ending falls, suspensionary freights

A body full of thoughts
Hollow mind cuts out draughts
Only if time could be stopped
I'll build an horloge in my head's clock

Steer me to a fantasy
Hold me for an eternity
Back down for a better me
I try to keep my sanity

For him
Me
The better me
The almost me

That could do better than I could think
Better than I would think
That would act at the thoughts to blink
Probably I shouldn't blink

Rehearse my fidelity
Work on my infidelity
A plane to eternity
For an end to a better me

An umbilical cord
That strucks my bones
Hard as a stone
I think it's trying to make me whole

Or to erase me
To think like everything
So I could become a sibling
To this cloned society

To accept the poverty
To fall for the beverages
To hold accountable the rich and the wealthy
For all problems that comes to think

My head is its own place
Not an ordinary place
A fantasy type of heaven place
Where only I belong place

The umbilical cord can't reach
My thoughts, mind, how I think
But it reacts Every time I blink
That I may act like everyone I see

I was thinking of the world, and trends and how everyone wants to be alike and we refuse our uniqueness

The Lance

An aged traveller,
Moving through a vast expanse,
Empty and chaotic afar,
The traveller casts a wide glance
Emptiness speckled with shimmer,
Following nature's unpredictable dance,
And enchanting view dotted with glitter,

Riding a vessel dubbed "The Lance",
She protects from deaths shivers,
The travellers have only one chance,
To protect the life giver,

For humanity's survival one last dance,
Among the passengers travels hushed murmurs and whispers,
Praying to seek distant lands,
I pose this question to the readers,
What kind of vessel is " The Lance"

Warming up the gears to get back into writing

-35 degrees

It's -35 degrees where I am,
Snowing blizzards that block up roads,
Grumbling adults surround me,
I marvel at their ignorance as they say,
"surely...not another snow day,"
It's so strange, surreal - surely they can see...?
I see a planet defiant in the face of the parasite called humanity.

I am always elated when the snow comes.
To me it's a reminder that we aren't completely hopeless...though we will be if we don't change. Even with the threat of annexation and tariffs (guess where I'm from!), the part I'm most scared about is Trump withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement which is basically guaranteed unless he somehow forgets.

Syafie R Jan 13

Humanoid

I drag this weight,  each step a crime against the ground. 
Am I a ghost, 
too solid to slip away, 
or an animal,  broken, bent,  flesh tight with the burden of living? 
I cannot call myself human— 
humans ache with love,
 but I am jagged,  a wound that won't heal. 
Too wild to tame, 
too hollow to be held. 
Time to vanish—
 to dissolve into night, 
my absence felt by none.
