Utopia vs. Dystopia

(Utopia)

A World Without Humans

Society is saved

By the distance of humans

Our species has moved on

A distant star is where they reside

A far-off unimaginable planet

Yet I have stayed

Remained on earth

Free from restrictions

The sand between my toes

The water on my skin

The wind in my hair

The bright orange sunset

 Reflecting off the waves

The air is thick soup

Overflowing with oxygen

Free from pollution

Animals caged…

                tortured…

                trapped…

                hunted for sport…

                starving…

                forced to fight…

Are now allowed to enjoy life

Free from man-kind

The circle of life is fair

The way God intended

The earth and its organisms

Living as one

As a whole

Years now have passed

The creatures no longer fear me

I am one of them now

Free from fright

Paradise

In a world without humans

(Dystopia)

Finding Anarchy

Fear and Terror

The only gods here

Hell? No! This is much worse

The world drowns in flames

Demons control our actions

Our sanity is lost

Anarchy is found

Gunshots booming in the distance

Showing no mercy

Disease spreads from one to another

Never killing; always pain

Children scream and cry out

There is no one to hear them

No one to care for them

Our protection is lost

Anarchy is found

Always running…

              crying…

              hiding…

              dying…

Our hope is lost

Anarchy is found

I pray.

God doesn’t hear me

The earth shatters beneath me

Rumbling thunder and lightning

Striking down the innocent

Sparing the guilty

Yet no one dies

We are all cursed

Eternal torment is our sentence

To be served without question

To be served with no alternative

Society is lost

Anarchy is found
