Unseeking Seeker Poet Ottava rima

World War 3

The third world war has already begun.
This time it’s humans versus planet earth.
Having failed to treat all life forms as one,
we’ve abused Mother, who’s given us birth
and so unless we come here now undone,
She’ll evict us since thin has worn Her mirth.
We’re Her guest but know not how to behave,
callousness digging thereby, mankind’s grave.

Bill Baker September 5, 2023 at 7:30 AM Insightful and true, my friend, we have raped the Earth. The price must be paid for our thoughtless deeds. Thanks for the message you've shared with us today. Bill Unseeking Seeker September 6, 2023 at 8:06 AM Yes. First Covid, then it’s variants. Man cannot fight forces of nature. The earth is a living entity. We dwell on earth’s crust as a guest. Guests who don’t behave are finally evicted. This is easy to see but perhaps as a collective, we are blind.
