Life's Fate

 I have seen what has the world aching,

what makes our mother, the Earth, sick with dread and causing anger,

like earthquakes and hurricane storms sweep across nations unchecked and unfettered,

I have seen our Mother, the Planet, so starved for her people to care,

whole swarms of grasshoppers fill the sky, warning us again -

"You will starve with us, don't you understand what you are doing?"

I have felt what it is like when a tree dies from the roots

as soil erosion wicks water and nutrients from the very veins and arteries

a trunk needs as it's anchors lose grasp on the very dirt,

leaves gnashed to pieces in the setting sun, winds rasping through hollowed branches,

crying, howling even - "We Can Not Sustain You!!"

You, humans - a Blight upon the Earth as she cries and cries and cries.
