All you water, please file neatly
into the ocean - I mean completely, 
and if you are dirt, you are meant
to lie on a continent.
Islands and lakes, please prepare,
for your judgment, the electric chair.

Not sure of the meaning of this one, perhaps earthquakes?

Haha, it's a tough job to find meaning in my poems, especially tough when there's not much meaning to be found - lol!

I'm not sure of the meaning either, but I think the speaker suffers from OCD and is overly controlling.
