As new age travellers wend their way,
Midst miracles of modern day,
With eagle vision yet blinkered still,
They see only wood, for trees they kill,
Devouring forest and all that dwell,
Within that pure creation realm,
Death and plunder all the day,
To every species in their way,
Do they dispense to all that may,
Provide a future place to stay.
For man and beast and bird and tree,
And fish and all those in the sea,
For all a temperature too high,
No oxygen, no clear blue sky,
And after ripping out her heart and lungs,
And poisoning her waterways,
And pillaging her precious ground,
And murdering all whom life she gave,
They perish for want that they disdained,
And leave her wounded unto death,
Her grand achievement hath betrayed her,
She mourns the loss of all her spawn,
With no more atmosphere above,
And no one left for her to love,
She breathes her last pathetic breath,
And gives herself to awful death,
A limp and frigid lifeless waste,
Careening through galactic space,
Four billion years she lived and thrived,
Until the pride of man arrived,
And slew her, as it were, in the blink of an eye.

Hopeful to read such a content, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on this very important and pressing matter. Namaste :)
Beautiful... yet sad.
This needs to be carwed in a stone and sent it to all mayor conglomerats
This kinda makes me want to cry.
It's sad because it's true.
Sad but beautiful!
We are Earth's cancer, and we WILL kill our host !!
Good post @gavvet
All this destruction for the benefit of a handful of greedy, money worshiping and morally bankrupt families who hate all life that is not Them. Our economic system is INSANE, starve and kill billions for the benefit of a couple thousand....... A crash is inevitable, hopefully sooner than later for the sake of all non-human species and ecosystems. oc
Beautiful and.. precious!
Greed wipes out any love that exists in a Human Being!, Beautifully Done, Thank You.
Beautiful...this is like painting with words.
I love the image you have painted in my mind with words.
