'earthritis'

'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!
