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? more »
