Earths Destruction By Man

Is Mans Destruction by Earth

In the not to distant future
when the Clouds are gone forever
And an Omen is reality at best

Technology, and greed for more
Resources not replenished
beginning of the end of Human quest

When the skies no longer cater
to the feathered ones of Nature
and the food chain slowly dwindles, day by day

When the Corn and Wheat cease growing
and the Rice dies from the Waters
man will surely know that Hunger's on its way

When you take away the Flowers
and you use up all the Forests
and the Waters are no longer safe at all

Then the rest will slowly Perish
leaving man alone to wonder
if the Air he breathes, will last until the fall

When the Privileged are the only ones
on Artificial Air
the rest of us?

We'll be just History past
another Mars or Moon perhaps?  A Desolate Domain
Supply runs out, and that will be their last.....

once man has commoditized and commercialized everything around him, he takes to feeding his insatiable appetite for money. Nice write
