a Tanka Poem for the Weekend Challenge

Bad News 

Wish you'd have told me 
I read your doings today 
When you need a friend 
Remember I'm always here 
Too late now, sayonara

a Poem, Earth Reborn -- for Tuesday Platform

The Day the Earth was Reborn

Smoldering fires here and there

Dotting grotesque, bare landscape scorched

Everything living and the dead

Becoming ashes useless toys

Toys of the powers here now are

Beings from another planet

Heat they can easily withstand

None on this burned land had survived

No life here until these creatures  
Being dropped by great great powers

Powers that had stood by watching

Observing man destruct himself

 
Plan too grandiose for them, failed

Personality was their flaw

Ego building, wealth, power plays 

Consumed, intelligence a waste

These puppets, mindless, insect-like

Their purpose preprogrammed when built

Procreation's luxury gone 

Guided by invisible strings

Toys fueled by carbon digestion

Inorganic mechanical

Bot beings time limited joy

Awaiting next generation
