Hollow Earth



Beneath the earth where things that grow
our creators lay and wait
they experiment and trick our souls  
that we scream for heaven's sake

for many times the earth would say
do you really want to know
is it hell down there and things to fear?
or just sounds that echo below

from east to west and north to south
its whereabouts is still the same
the curious ones have no doubt
we must embrace this place for gain

hollow earth where art thou?
are you watching from within?
I need to know you can show me how
to write the wrong of sins

do we come to you, and will you let us in
that we hope to not regret
for  speaking our minds, so you can hear our rhymes
to pass the ultimate test

then consume us all and bring us in
to a place we fear the most
hollow earth is that place
the last place left on earth

By Trevor Bess

About this poem

The Hollow Earth theory is a pseudoscientific idea that the Earth is composed of a hollow shell with entrances at the North and South poles. The inner surface of the Earth is inhabited by a variety of beings, including humans, who live in a world without sunlight. People all around the world propose all sorts of ideas about what lies beneath our feet. Some say it's a place of darkness and evil, while others believe it's a haven for advanced civilizations and strange creatures. But what if there was actually something to it?

I am a Poet, Writer, and Believer in the subconscious power. Citizen of the galaxy... Helping souls connect with the essence of life in way of poetry. Life is a series of unpredictable moments. My style of writing has always been about “The Moment Your In”. You never know when an occurrence, situation of sorts that you are confronted with, puts you in a place where the faster you’re “Wit” is, the better the situational outcome works in your favor. Gestures of the body can influence the moment as well. In life we are not just speaking with our voices, we are also speaking with our bodies. more…
