'Earthritis'

The world will come to end
Not deep nor on the bend:
While we all see or watch
Trusting safety of our latch
Or serial number o' ur batch
Or the date of our hatch;
Date of our own catch
(For birth and death match.)

Man is cutting life strings
On which, busy, he clings:
Poisons dams for a bounty.
For gold, rives the ground.
Bush fire is hunter's hound,
Bestowing meat a pound. 
His brain's not so sound
He'll b interr'd in a mound.

Damage we do on the surface of the earth makes it ail from a new disease called Earthritis!
