The Mourning of Mother Earth

You, unfeeling creatures Who call yourselves human, You, fleeting bubbles of reason, Accidental parasites of time, You, filthy microbes of cancer, Ephemera of invincible eternity, You, who try to fill your vanity With abominable crimes, You, insensible butchers of animals, Notorious destroyers of pastures, You, contaminators of oceans, Deleterious polluters of rivers, You, menacing beings of harmony, Transgressors of universal laws, You, Who deliberately have put me through The tormenting agony of dying By Strewing your treacherous dark web of Your unworthy ambitions, all over my face, Shadowing my generous fertility and Rendering me sterile, Behold, For the time has come for you To feel my wrath and my fury Boiling lava over you To flow every day, Kneel, Your tiny mortal beings In front of the immortal cosmos, For the shiny heavy sword of Universal justice, Punisher of transgressions, guardians of The eternal laws, Over your thoughtless heads to fall With vengeance and rage Decapitating the most of you and Those who would survive Shall feel the torturing pain in Their hearts For Uncountable years!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 20 March 2020 * This poem I wrote in 1985 in Montreal, Canada when, as a co-founder of a peace movement, was making efforts to raise conscientiousness for to save mother earth. It was posted here on the 28th of November 2012 with the title:"The Rage of Mother Earth". Now, with minor editing, is re-posted with its original title of 1985: "THE MOURNING OF MOTHER EARTH." THIS IS A STERN WARNING TO ALL OF US WHO DESTROY HER: REMEMBER NOT MUCH TIME IS LEFT TO SAVE OUR PLANET AND OURSELVES!
