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

WOW!!! I am impressed Mike. This is excellent in my book. A10 I'm a bit of a tree hugger so this hits deep with me.
