Too Late the Rain
The earth burns
scorched by sun dry heat
and the carelessness of man.
The glaciers melt
forcing the oceans to rise
and the sea to yield its depths.
The sea starves
creatures poisoned by refuse
remnant disposals of humanity.
The forests wither
sliced down for grasslands
that burn in the sun.
The creatures of nature
diminish in the onslaught
of trophies and greed.
Skies gray, oceans salt the land
too late the rains
that once cleansed the world.
