The Death of Humanity

Gitika Verma posted under PenMuse-20 Poetry on 2020-06-24



Pregnant and exhausted She wandered Desperately searching for food, The humans, she trusted And entered Their village in a hopeful mood.

They gave her food to eat A sweet fruit That she devoured so hungrily, Humans can never cheat They aren’t brutes The tusker presumed that blindly. But then a burning pain Seared through her, “Humans tricked me without pity” “O' God! They’re so insane!” Shedding tears She died, so did humanity.
