What Humans Do

in poetry •  8 years ago  (edited)

The night sky echoes past ages of light
In a history of colour, it's an inspiring sight
All of it ancient by our short spans
An eternity we can frame with our hands

Its vision splendid tasks our minds
Helps us free our earthly binds
Illusions all by times journey enhanced
Yet to its rhythm we have danced

From long ago to now a message passed
Recorded on stones the skies to last
A warning about a dawning whose equinox procession
Comes with inevitable precision

It’s retold down verbal generations
Thus voids the predator’s deceptions
Till again we stand in awe of the impending immensity
Of the foretold shift in density

Few though have heard their hearts call
For them the coming is a fall
The predator stirs as so many fail the test
it’s happy and awaits a rich harvest

Some will have read the sign
A wave approaches it seems benign
Yet as it passes it takes its toll of belief
As many set to recreate their current grief

While we pass this way on our journeys path
We stop and look and start to laugh
For we are co-creators of our insanity
We made our shared reality

Soon to be returned to the year one
Some of us work to avoid the fun
Those awake in this depravity
Can see through the sad fantasy

And though I’m beside myself
I take the time to share the wealth
So that others may come through
Cause that’s what humans do

@mudduck great poem, i suggest you add some image/s to put more meaning to it

Thanks, I am not familiar with how it all works just yet so this was more of a test post without doing the test thing I have seen others do. Appreciate the feedback and advice. :)

If you post from your blog I suggest you verify.

Hello! Welcome to Steemit.

In order to prevent identity theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.

Verification can be as simple as posting to your website or blog. If you use twitter or facebook, you can also create a tweet or post there. For our easily recognizable Steemians, a photo with you holding a piece of paper with the time & date will suffice.

Thank You! ☙

I did not post from my old blog as I have rewritten this poem a little in the past six years. I had thought to post some new works here which will not be posted anywhere else. However in light of the verification necessity, I do not use twitter or facebook and have no desire to do so, I shall rethink this situation. I have no intention of posting photographs of myself at this time at least.

oh just a test post, maybe that is why you were notified to link your sources...looks like your getting it now :) keep going!
