Earth's Ruination
Cracking poison pills
along fault lines and blue insignias
we laughed.
How we riddled the world
in often misguided abbreviations and pith.
Pouring the beads of pin head size
into the water we drink and breathe
we waited.
How we ordered the waves
to recall their terror and quell the moon.
Studying nature
from eleven levels and burnt trees
we sighed.
How we wished for new saplings
but found ourselves only with high-rise condos and dust.
A price of lost deliverance and gorged bank accounts
bloated dirty green with every cracked, poisoned lake,
stream, river, ocean, cloud, minute drop of dew,
to take to our death bed.
