thE 200,000
Mankind knows nothing
200,000 years of huffing and puffing
Clawing a way up evolutionary ladders
We then slip down the slippery adders
Each invention speeds the time
To our demise I think you’ll find
We think we’re conquering the void
But all we do is produce more noise
The clamours of mankind grow loud
As we spread across the earth in clouds
Like locusts consume all
In their path
So man lays waste to all he has
But like the plagues swept before
Eventually will be no more
As we all will eventually go
the earth once more will start to grow
Recovering from human shock
The globe continues like a clock
Resting in recovery room
Just the earth and silver moon
Between them as they dance and play
Around each other’s orbits, say
Let’s hope the next lot is more sensible
As man was just incomprehensible

Thanks Keith &Julie for liking and all the others as well
I must admit I had a chuckle when I wrote the last 2 lines,
Rhyming sensible and incomprehensible 🤣
