Man Fails, Earth Ails

(Man’s silliness begets earth’s illness.)

the green of earth, by the greed of man, grazed
reed of grass, rid by man from soil’s grid, razed

no trees that stir, no breeze on fir that steers
no breed of bird, no deer or bear appears

filth at river, silt at sea, sewer slime
fishes float, dead of grime, behold man’s crime

thin air, thick smog, ozone-layer-reduce
beware: danger zone! Man has lit the fuse…

lest man greet the future with grit resolved
no feet shall walk desert planet, absolved!


- global warming
is between
local warning and total burning.

- mother earth’s tomorrow
lies between
yesterday and today.
