Earth Eulogy
By Mark D. Stucky
She was a good planet,
put to death in her prime
by a pandemic of people.
Homo-sapiens was a disease
with mutating and metastasizing
technological and industrial pus,
emitting environmental toxins,
exterminating flora and fauna,
until the infection’s surge
triggered its own extinction.
Vaccines of ecological education
and environmental regulations
could not overpower
the pathogen’s resistance.
When the global viral load
caused ever-rising fever,
Earth suffered convulsions
and, finally, Gaian coma.
Other sentient souls
amidst the starry galactic mist
will surely miss you very much.
Rest in peace, dear Earth.

Bp is up
Tb is breaking
Asthma closes up ?
Ebola is exterminating
HIV is viral
Cancer is cutting
Diabete is destroying
Corona is crushing
Malaria is messing.
People are crying
Hurting
Dying daily
Here and there.

An actor returns to his Beverly Hills mansion –
blows his brains out with a 38 special.
I must have dozed off,
cops at my door,
a line of chain-smoking flashbulbs
in baggy turn-ups.
I watch myself being taken away in a body bag.
The movie is badly spliced.
Black Packard’s keep morphing into flying saucers.
We are all wearing hats,
even the writers in the backroom
are wearing wide-brimmed hats.
The women are wearing hats.
They wear pencil thin skirts,
and talk out of the side of their mouths.
A screen flickers;
a skinny man behind an obscuring microphone
apologizes for the delay.
Meanwhile, space aliens have landed in Brooklyn,
and are exterminating people in hats.
It’s a radio show hoax,
but I don’t know that –
until I wake-up
into a world filled with terror and chaos,
there are no aliens and few brimmed hats.
I can’t sleep.

I hold a piece of the world in one hand
And my confidence on my chest.
I’m in a one woman band,
But I still give everyone my very best.
Kindness I spread like confetti,
And everyone is happy and ready.
I am glittering in happiness,
And exterminating the darkness,
Ending the violence,
And giving the world innocence.
No more guns,
No more money,
No more war.
I am one of God's angels.
I am making a difference.
I hold a piece of the world in my hands.

young impressionable minds today
fearless leaders of tomorrow
years in between will pass
will slip away in a flash
under our tutelage
our guidance
our encouragement
our influence
our illusion of dominance
that for some
will escalate
to abuse of power
to oppression
extinguishing the light
within a child
one at a time
nothing short of
exterminating
dreams of tomorrow
bursting the bubbles
of confidence
meant to lead to stellar feats

Stem the tide your pride rides
To a puerile pinnacle
In a vain belief it makes sensational strides
When like a locust your spiracle
Exhales carbon dioxide
To catalyze photosynthesis for red roses in your green garden
While your pride derides advice and pays a hefty price dockside
For endeavouring to harden
The thick skin your pride grows
Any time advice draws nigh
To plant seeds and grant benefits in rows pride throws
Away preferring to conjure up delays
In opening the hermetic door
To the bunker where pride slays
Emissaries of advice on a cold floor
Where to smithereens pride crushes advice
Slices its fragments into a powder every hour
Inviting a swarm of lice and an infestation of mice
To overpower and devour harbingers of advice deploying devastating power
Advice harbingers couldn’t summon
In the face of impending death
As Pride brags ‘Advice, come on
So I increase my wealth, exterminating your health.’

Mind concentration and meditation
Brings you to a higher state of elevation
Taking you out of the state of sedation
Away from the contaminated world's education
Pure but not processed thoughts
Pure but not tainted hearts
Bells ringing
Sounds of Freedom
No more wicked worldly believing
Eyes see great things
You're achieving
Souls singing
Freely roaming..... Knowing
And spiritually growing
Heart free mental flowing
Concentration Elevation
Important information connecting energies
Vibrations
Renewing the minds
Exterminating Lower Intelligence
Beautifully minded conversations

Deadly humanity
Exterminating all
Forests along with animals,
Outrage should be how we feel
Restitution should be our aim,
Eradicating corporate greed
Senseless destruction,
The cutting and burning of trees
Animal extinction abhorrent to me,
This must end rapidly
Insipid evil within humanity,
One movement for our ecology
Needless is our destruction of creation.

Abhorrent atrocities...
Lives life lying...
Leader libel...
Implying indiscriminate idiosyncrasies...
Thieving... trashing... torturing...
Executions... exploiting... exterminating...
Reckless... random reactions...
Allowing abominations...
Terminating trust...
Invalidating instructions
Out of order...
No... no names...

Extinguishing is
The humanity with the
Cataclysms that are
Destroying ecosystem
Planet fauna and flora
Famine and wars rob
Thousands of precious lives in
A blink of an eye
Exterminating humans
With a great grade of nonsense

Oh, Mindless Society running at full speed
Zombies of America dieing as they feed (The people they kill, get up and kill)
Different Nation Armies, Exterminating us as the problem
Our Nation, Forever Feeding, Hunting, Killing all for sport.
Running around with naked thought, naked emotion
The eyes of God's monsters of USA, All glaring at each other
Hiding from each other, Hunting each other
Families killing Families, friend killing friend, Brother killing brother
Oh, USA's Governmentals, Contaminated, but not Infected
High above the Rioting streets
The Big Wigs laugh from their observation tower
But little do they know, The infected slowly learn
Dead, But still alive, they live, they learn
They now attack each other in group affiliation
And soon, They'll all come together & share the same expectations
Their all hungry, and They'll all learn, grow in numbers, build goals and then...
The observationists, shall fall....

A silver angel made of tin
Stands in a roadside window.
She sees a man asleep on a bench,
A bum.
A bum dreaming
The kind of dream
From which no man
Should be awakened
So he has to face
Another day in hell.
She's Bunuel's exterminating angel.
Her target--the indifference of repetition:
Mailboxes, mansions, Mercedes,
Chez Suzanne, Maytag-wash,
Adults-only, Donuts-delight,
Hamburger-hots,
7-11/convenience,
Lawns, shrubs, poodles,
Men watering everywhere,
Satellite dishes, TVs blaring,
Ice cream cones,
Vacant park benches
Waiting to comfort
The comfortless.
Light jettisons from her metallic core,
Dissolving all views.
The bum rises--Lazarus--
For a nation
That waits to redeem the lost.

"Oh, cut it out!!' he cried
As they shot him
Grinning
Smiling in their power
"But I am one of you!" cried he
As they bayonetted him
"Have mercy!" she begged
While she was gased
"Someday you'll pay!" they whimpered
Forlorn and forgotten martrs
Dying in masses of groans
Early graves awaiting
Yet warm bodies
Rotting flesh on last week's quota
Quivering in anticipated vengence
Reach out, deadman
Grasp those distorted in sickness
Who beg so much louder than their victims
Every rotting heart beating louder
to the pace of their awaited screams
Every trembling bone reaching above
Dead on schedule
Efficient killers
Reluctant in responsibility
For the millions
Who could not understand
your reasons for exterminating them
The world and the heavens
Decry your deeds
You the inhuman.

I often wondered what is justice
When so many laws amongst us
By design meant to provide us
But inherently divides us...
Into those who does and doesn’t
Like the ones who were and wasn’t
It may be just speculation
But I fear the final nation...
Will it keep truth beneath the surface?
To exist for one sole purpose
Exterminating all my people
As they march toward the steeple...
Some we oust for their behavior
Thinking Satan is their savior
Seeming powerless to save them
It’s our weakness that enslaves them...
It’s our fault for not enduring
And at times not re-assuring
We let them settle for the stable
While we prefer to use the table...
So before you point a finger
When all you've done is stop and linger
Leading those not fit to trust is
another road to this injustice...
