Due Veneration

Since industrialization there’s been agitation frustration palpitation trepidation vociferation And unequivocal asseveration in favour of our planet’s welfare glorification and protection Premeditated or not, the results on the planet are nothing short of brutalization and martyrization Damage is irreversible and orchestrated with acceleration towards matricide and genocide no question Axiomatic domination exploitation contamination violation decimation decapitation Take their toll from appropriation to deforestation, amputating earth’s lungs without arbitration Patronizing politicians greedy for ovations ignore aggravation assassination brutification asphyxiation Not fooling anyone with altruistic motives of lavishing ones with undue admiration and accreditation We’re beyond allegations and accusations of criminal irresponsible desensitization and legitimation Way beyond denials repudiation vacillation and claiming a convocation for immediate restoration The truth is we’re an actualized and glorified civilization cohabitating with vegetation and crustacean We claim to have more intelligence yet all we show is irreverence greed alienation and agglomeration The truth is the damage humans have created in the last hundred years amounts to irreparable laceration Optimists say it’s not too late to opt for self-preservation with inspiration adaptation and indoctrination… AP: 1st place 2022 Submitted on March 26, 2018 for contest TRIPLE A CHALLENGE sponsored by ROBERT HAIGH - RANKED 8TH

Skillful presentation and reiteration of how sad it is that man rarely practices conservation in every nation when we are facing annihilation. Congrats on your win, Line.

Good luck in the contest, Line, you deserve to place high, if not win totally number one spot with this one. I did not know there were this many words ending in ation; I would have never believed it if I had not been schooled by the best. You!
