Apocalyptic sky/laser beams fire overhead/the grinding of metal/’cover your ears from the machines callous roar lad’/lampposts make for enemy eyes/key cards enclose the inhabitants/night by night/the war goes on//

Illuminations cut the night sky to death/magnetic clouds appear overheard threatening to do their worst/the scream of man becomes as common as a bomb falling/the survival rate freezes and then smashes under the pressure/the war goes on//

Football pitches convert to battle trenches/kitchen appliances become makeshift weapons in the battle to breathe/the bleeping pulse of the rusting enemy/walking torturous hard drives ready to strike/night by night/the war goes on//

When there is no room in heaven, the dead shall appear as a storm on the horizon and there is a storm that surrounds us//

Goodbye civilisation//

The war goes on//

I feel as though the earth will soon become unbearably cluttered:\

That's what this piece made me think. It's a very good piece, nice imagery:)

Being voted the world's sexiest vegetarian is about as cool as it gets. It's not quite as cool as Brad Pitt, but it'll do.~Chris Martin

As I've said before
I envy your work. :] Great work. Excellent imagery and word flow. I love the structure.

I really like the line breaks (or at least that's how I interpreted them) in the middle of lines. I read it once through the way you wrote it, and once through while disregarding those line breaks. It's a completely different feel to the poem with them there, and that's so interesting and unique.

In short: I really liked it. :)

I would like to see people refusing to work in any job they felt was wrong. I would like to see work dodgers: honorable and brave people who refuse to continue to feed this monstrous culture

The imagery is so strong in this one. and it has so much truth to it

If you're feeling indistinguishable,
Like a tiny white flower next to a million others,
Pick up a paintbrush,
And make yourself yellow
