"The Last Poem on Earth" by Joseph Quiroz

​

If this is the last poem on earth

then I'm the saddest man on earth

right now because there are no

more poems after this!!!!!!!!

 

A nuke must be on its way

or three thousand of them
as Russia and the USA

built a crapload of them.

 

Thank you COLD WAR!!!!

You were both wrong.

 

I always had the hope

that poetry would live on

even after I'm six feet under.

 

But no, I'm living in a fucked up
generation with fucked up

people and we're all going to die

soon and dust can't write a poem.

 

Fuck....

 

What a tragedy it is to write

the last poem ever because

who will tell me if I suck

when everyone is dead???

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH....
