BETTERMENT FOR HUMANITY
Written by A R Andrews

Refrain
As we come to this, the end of time
It's hard to imagine a betterment for humanity
Things have advanced way too far
Mankind have lost their sanity.

(I)
The dawn of time, was truly more magnificent
Such a splendid sight to see
Yet, mankind have destroyed the world
And we just call it Industry.

(II)
The atomic bomb and biological warfare
Have replaced the knights of old
We remember them only through legend
And the stories we are told.

Refrain
As we come to this, the end of time
It's hard to imagine a betterment for humanity
Things have advanced way too far
Mankind have lost their sanity.

(III)
Dust and ashes have replaced
Where once, homes did lay
And silence now, engulfs the land
Where children once did play.

(IV)
No I believe Mother Earth can never be
Restored to Her former glory
But let the memories live on
In our hearts, and through our stories

Refrain
As we come to this, the end of time
It's hard to imagine a betterment for humanity
Things have advanced way too far
Mankind have lost their sanity

(V)
Some dream of advanced civilisation
I'm afraid this can never be
Soon time will explode
The end for you and me.

(VI)
With the great wars yet to come
I fear an end for us all
The meek, will inherit the earth
The strong, are set to fall.

Refrain
As we come to this, the end of time
It's hard to imagine a betterment for humanity
Things have advanced way too far
Mankind have lost their sanity.

Nicely done I love your ballad poems so captivating

wow thanks Blight, I love writing ballad style poems, much more than most other styles, the only one I can really say I enjoy writing as much, are accrostic style poems, as that's where my poetic origins lay, when I began back in high school.

I must have been about 14 when I started writing, and overall I think I've produced some quite good pieces.. however, this one has to be one of my favourites:D

thanks for the comment, and the support:hug:

Lovely! this is an awesome ballad! you did marvously! I am writing a story in epic form, and its hard... its going to be as long as a novel, if I can. I was inspired after I read the Canterbury Tales for the 1000th time, as well as Beowulf.... *keeps her fingers crossed*

Anyway, this is fantastic!!! Awesomely great job!

There's a lot of truth in this, as sad as it may be =[. I love the irony in the chorus where it says "Things have advanced way too far, mankind have lost their sanity"
