Nip/Tuck The Eyes
The world has really let itself go.
It just doesn't look like it used to:
Some parts sag way down low,
some wouldn't even dewrinkle
if a steamroller ran on it on a loop.
The halcyon of its life has come and gone.
But the earth is just an infant.
We have acted as carcinogens- tobacco to a tee-
Pushing the helpess blue life bubble towards a hasty
Adolescence like an overzealous pageant mom.
Worse now, we are pushing it toward inevitable death-
hunters running a herd of mammoths over a cliff.
This was yesterday, this is today, this is tomorrow.
I want to help.
Environmentalists are the only ones
left on earth with the power to see-
To see the devestation and the need to change.
I don't want to be blind anymore.
I will be one of them, we will see together
And we will help the rest see and help our
Unavenged victim- the earth.
