Humanity: The Plague

The earth is sustaining humanity 

But she has fallen in her old age

She’s endured the Ice Age and dinosaurs

She’s endured solar flares and meteors

But she is in a losing battle with humanity

Humanity is punishing the earth

She brings us everything we need to live

And then we give her landfills

She creates breathtaking views

And we strip them down for gold and silver 

Humans take and they take but never think

Now she is dying and we don’t know what to do

The heat is killing her, but it’s also killing us

So now we search for a new earth, one untouched by humanity

So we can start again, humanity becoming a plague
