Haiku - a Warning - Concrete the Tree of Life It's Not
A
WARNING
CONCRETE THE TREE OF LIFE IT'S NOT
Inspired by our self-inflicted sufferings, natures too,
&
Carlos Trevino
~~~
what is right... or wrong...
nature knows not the difference
the fault lies with man...
there was once order
spring... summer... autumn... winter
in which we persist...
we... in denial...
nature can see were blind...
blinkered... polluting...
there is no malice
for now... nature has no choice
righting our wrongs
wilful... our doings...
she will... don't doubt... right them all
inadvertently...
we suffer
consequences
of our own making
why can't we understand
we all face a mass extinction
that's not what nature had in mind
evolution... or where only the fittest will survive
now enhanced... climate warming now decides who lives
who
dies
the tree of life is losing branches... we can no longer
DENY
unless we stop polluting
all life on earth will
...DIE...
CONCRETE THE TREE OF LIFE IS NOT
