A Hollow Protest- Writers Block Poetry Contest Week 4

Damp it up with cream, cover it up with powder,
Color it up profoundly until it seems natural,
How old are you? Shh, just let them wonder.

Remove everything green, concrete is better,
Firm and solid, secure and durable,
See skyscrapers rise, awesome head turners.

Manual no more, too much of a bother,
Stock up on gasoline, tacos and power,
You and your engines will need it forever.

This is what life is all about, or is it really?
Wishing for things eternal in a life short-lived,
A melancholic image of human desperation.

We don’t want tragic or happy endings,
We want indestructability and immortality,
In a helpless planet slowly reduced into ash.

Much like how the brain refuses to accept death,
After machines in white robes had given up.
Just like how a fungus tries to save up
Whatever was left of a lifeless carcass.

Thank you for taking the time to read. :)
