I love this planet
but sometimes feel like an alien
watching the grand finale

Here the electronic rush of meaning,

In the end!
After humanity has caught the last fish, after they dug up all that is left, after they cut down the last tree, and drank the last drop of clean water, only then will human beings see the devastation of their activities.
Our tears will not be enough
to hydrate and grow what we
reap and sow.
Only giving and forgiving ourselves will stop this disaster that is humanity.

it has been
too long
since my
lonely
aching soul
has seen the sun
i yearn for its light
for the promise of what will be
to bring the joy it

Hurting from torture
The Earth whimpers to the skies
Who turn their frosty cheeks
Betrayed, the Earth weeps
Black ancient tears
......
Cries from its voice.
On its face, a mask of demon,
And its countenance meanly dark.
The stars depart as Deluge stumbles.
Transmontane haloes quench their light
At the basement of valleys,
Retreating from the courage of waters.
Countenance of cornucopia,
......
A fent in the huge, rain-blooded gourd
of heaven pukes Deluge and dirt
upon these lands...
Angry heavens spit violently
downwards, towards hidden collieries of
harlotry — accompanied by Deluge and
white rage — satins of gold-lined thrones
become whited sepulchral flags.

Oh, foolish humanity what have you done!
You are killing my offspring one by one,
and then complain when my virus kills you.
Why should you not be done by as you do?
You've stripped my forests, mined my treasures,
squandered my resources on selfish pleasures..
You've raped my virgin soils in your wanton lust
dug deep for valued minerals in my thin crust.
