Overpopulation, environmental vandalism, when will it end? OR how will it end?


Poem Artwork

Let us look at this cell we call Earth

The devastation continues

The infestation of two short Millennia is frightening

You can see the areas of concentration

Observe the damage along the coastline

The virus appears to live in these concrete and glass structures

Let us inject the cell with knowledge

They have proven to be genocidal

Let us give them the concept of mass destruction

But will they not destroy the Earth itself?

The cell will suffer only briefly

The odd thing about this virus is its preference for dividing itself

And then killing each other!

When they have devised weapons of mass destruction

The end will be near

There will be a cataclysm from which a mere remnant will survive

Mother Earth will recover quickly

Not a watt of electricity will be produced from her coal

Every piston will cease to drink her oil

Billions of tons of effluent will cease to clog her waterways

The rape will stop

Equilibrium will be restored

Life for the virus will be primitive and difficult

Only the strongest will survive

We...are not us

Powerful writing, David.

we are vermin upon this beautiful planet...
your words reveal how powerful she is too
we all need to believe it...she is going to rid herself of us
I have no doubt...

did you know that the oil clean-up crews are nothing compared
to the areas she has cleaned up herself? Isn't that impressive?
I was so happy to hear this the other day...
