A New Sky
When the Earth retaliates,
we will claim to be victims of a faceless evil.
We will say we are pursued by vicious forces,
and that we are at the mercy of the unseen.
Have we reflected on yesterday?
Have we examined our actions?
Have we considered the residues of our industrious machines?
Have we thought about the dirt they release into the sky?
The Earth is on the verge of unleashing its fury.
Its elements stand at the edge of a precipice,
ready to crash down and engulf us in horror—
a tempest of relentless darkness.
When the Earth retaliates,
We will awaken to a new sky,
one that obscures the sun’s rays,
a sky that will herald the woes that await us.
