Earth Shrugged
Vibrations feral spread across the land
Meek upon earth, then approached the elder
“We are helpless; please help man understand!”
“For he has engaged in widespread plunder
Consumed by desire and ruled by instinct
Killing, maiming and mining down under”
Mother Earth listened, viewing her precinct
Thought awhile, then from God took permission
Spewing a virus, with message succinct:
“Enjoy my gifts, in joyful elation
Live in peace or face annihilation“
