Stay Away
If you should you venture too close
to this rock called planet Earth,
you should impose quarantine;
of kindness we have a dearth.
The worst disease is hatred;
it seems to infest the world.
We continue to make war;
at each other bombs are hurled.
The second one to deplore
is that of sad apathy.
There are people without homes
and Mankind just lets it be.
Base cruelty is rampant;
mankind kills his fellow beast,
for his own convenience,
and extinctions do increase.
So, universal travelers,
please, take careful heed of me.
Do not approach planet earth;
there are things you should not see.
