Argument Between the World and Man

STOP! The World cries out Your killing me As you rape my land And pollute my sea Wasn't it Gods plan for man To take care of me If we try I'm sure we can Live in harmony WHY! The Man cries out Are you always blaming me Can't you see the progress I've made Through my abilities Why is it you think I am Your worst enemy Do you really think you'd be better off If I packed my bags and leave WHAT! The World cries out Have you gone insane My life here was pristine Till you gave your soul away Look at the mess I'm in Of course you are to blame I've had it up to here With all your silly games WHOA! The Man cries out Let me tell this to you I've got this little game right here I like to call the nuke Believe me I'm not afraid To use it's full force on you You need to apologize right now Before I turn it loose GO AHEAD! The World cries out Why should I even live When all you want from me Is what it is that I can give So give it your best shot, Man And untie the noose Let's see who will survive Your little game of nuke

This is fantastic :-) I love the urgency of your words, the separation of verses with all cap. statements and the pillaging of nature you so boldly express. An exceptional poem on a most vital topic. 7+...10 if possible :-) I applaud your skill and appreciate the awareness you bring with this excellent piece. blessings, lynn
