Earth's Ruination

Cracking poison pills along fault lines and blue insignias we laughed. How we riddled the world in often misguided abbreviations and pith. Pouring the beads of pin head size into the water we drink and breathe we waited. How we ordered the waves to recall their terror and quell the moon. Studying nature from eleven levels and burnt trees we sighed. How we wished for new saplings but found ourselves only with high-rise condos and dust. A price of lost deliverance and gorged bank accounts bloated dirty green with every cracked, poisoned lake, stream, river, ocean, cloud, minute drop of dew, to take to our death bed.
