I stand here in the ruins

Of what was once a great civilisation

The Gods and Goddesses had blessed them with abundance

And yet they squandered it all away

They prayed and worshipped

Money and power

Destroyed everything they touched

Forgot about empathy and love

Traded all the beauty in the world for wealth

And when it all came crumbling down

Who did they blame but us Gods and Goddesses?

I stand here in the ruins

Of what was once a great civilisation

I know that we are not to blame

Only they are

About “The Ruins Of Civilisation?”:

The Ruins Of Civilisation is a response to fellow blogger, Kevin’s, No Theme Thursday prompt post for this week. He is currently taking a break from NTT but I’m not lol. I mean, he did say we can still share responses he’ll just share them on his blog when the break is over so don’t worry I’m not being annoying.

This poem is about fallen empires (like the one pictured) and those that will fall in the future. It’s interesting, humans blame everyone and everything but themselves for that. And yet, we’re almost always the problem.

The comments section of this post will be turned off. I’ve been busy unpacking recently and have not had time to respond to even earlier comments. I feel like I will be too overwhelmed if I keep the comments on with this post too. But I still wanted to share a post so here we are. I hope you enjoyed the poem!
