dying
there'll be
no saving it
not any
the entire orb
overloaded
toxins too many
coadsorb
supersaturated
then abraded
gone far too bye
alas too late
to buy time back
no turnaround
11th hour saving
or magical miracle
in denial of why
our planets health
status - critical
we did what we did yes we did mine blast pollute shift axis misuse & abuse bleed her dry it is mans(kind) turn for him be to wither carbon nation in degradation rock stars erosion chemical illusions a weathering of time
Mother earth will rejuvenate do (the) over time yielding to years millions (billions?) once more but...only....if... then... sans homo sapiens a non negotiable must
torpid audience enervate we (manunkind) made the earth into 'progresses' whore pimped her out for a TV dinner a 100 inch flat screen a remote control life instant gratification homologating toxic emissions no ratification given by nature override permissions ego over easy (supersize default position) greed gone greasy
not today not tomorrow not next year not 100 years from now but in a time long after you long after me when we and our offspring (& theirs & theirs...) long dead too earth will reset herself hostile to human life yes homo sapiens lease on this fractured land will for sure expire but the planet will regenerate and survive destructions fire
