We Are Pollution
WE ARE POLLUTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the beginning, its said we were just dust,
Conjecture or, simply words I don't trust.
Even the big bang theory is not a positive must.
For the truth in all manner of things, I do lust.
I know it's out there, we've just scratched the crust.
I would bet a fortune but, unfortunately, I'm bust!
Gasses condensing along with dust compaction,
Probably planet earth's initial nuclear reaction.
Nuclear fusion in the raw, a non-fatal attraction.
Initially molten, cooling, a hardening contraction.
Still many millennia before life saw any action.
Abiogenesis some 4.2 billion years ago, first life!
Understanding self-replicating, still causing strife
Once instigated molecular life became common, rife.
Evolution in reality, fast, look, now man and wife.
Are we happy, we are the pollution, have we gone too far?
the door to self-destruction now open, well slightly ajar,
The not too distant future will climate warming will mar?
Most scientists researching nature, all life's chances,
suggest stop pollution, change ourselves, adopt new stances.
The end of life as we know it, total mass extinction,
I, and I wish all of humanity will find the lust.
To help nature right our wrongs, she needs our interaction,
stopping pollution now right now might just suffice,
else planet earth might end up looking like a star.
Let's all help save planet earth with great distinction
