No God Is Coming To Save You
poem/song about hopelessness and how humanity doomed the world
No god is coming to save you.
This is not the Tribulation,
This is an evacuation of Earth.
We have poisoned her waters,
Raped her fields,
And bled her dry.
/
We've suctioned out black gold,
And turned it into poison smog.
We've littered the seas
With plastic detritus
And it now infects our very cells.
/
We are the ungrateful parasites,
Mother Earth seeks to rid of.
The wealthiest of us
Are content to continue asssaulting her soil,
Pulling up her forests,
Dirtying her waters,
And hiding away as we burn in the wastes.
/
Planet Earth will move on without us,
Because we are a species that deserves to die.
We shall go the way of the dinosaurs.
We shall turn to fossils,
And fuel the next machines
Of another merciless race.
/
We treat each other with hate,
Distain so severe that we bomb schoolchildren,
Corall people into pens like animals,
Exploit the vulnerable,
And live decandantly off the profits.
/
The wife of a billionarie
Wears the blood-stained diamonds,
That were painstakingly dug out of the Earth
By a malnourished child
Who doesn't know if he'll get a meal tonight.
/
Your electric cars that you drive
To make you feel like you're doing something,
Hold cobalt that people bulldozed entire villages to obtain.
Finite resources mean nothing to the men
That hold all the cards
That hold all the gold like decaying dragons,
That threaten to destroy the world if we don't kneel.
/
I am tired of being a cog
In a machine that only works
When I cry and scream and anguish from the pain
Of backbreaking labor that I am paid poorly for.
My entire existence is to be a number in a book,
To be a worker on an assembly line
To put together another piece of shit commodity
That will distract society from the rising waters coming to drown us.
/
We will drown slowly,
Like the frogs in the proverbial boiling water.
And billionaries will be selling us boats and buckets.
We will burn in the fires
While the rich look upon us from their Ivory Tower
Drinking babies' blood from wine glasses
While they molest the children for fun
And throw them into a mass grave like used tissues.
/
No god is coming to save you.
You are stuck in this sinking ship with us.
There will be no Rapture,
No heavenly glow from the clouds.
If a loving god did exist,
He'd be looking upon in disgust.
Because instead of loving our neighbor,
We destroy ourselves for petty gain.
/
No god is coming to save you.
There is no biblical end.
There is only a dying world
In an infinite universe.
