Mankind is unknowingly busy making his own coffin, killing his own children before they are born and denying other creatures on earth the right to live.
The World is dying
It is hit by climate changes
It is losing its heritages
Its weather is unpredictable
Seasons are dying
They are feeding on each other
They are swallowing each other
They are getting erratic
Peoples cultures are affected
Traditions are in affliction
The air is dying
It is taking its last breath
It is killed by sick air
It is a victim of pollution
From lack of fresh air
Air is dying
The sky is dying
It is hit by bullets of greed
It has a wound on its head
It is bleeding
When the world dies
Human beings will die, too
But before both have died
Humanitý died first

The war of all against all looms before us. I have not seen such fear of the future before, and so many trying to escape through drugs, booze, endless shopping......
Can we not change, learn from God what it means to let go of things and only hold on to the things that truly matter? Pray for me as I pray for you my friend.
Yes Abdi, what you have said in this poem is so true, but cannot mankind get rejuvenated and do something about all of this? I still have hope and I know you do tooooooooo!
My wish is for you to have a Joyfilled New Year!
Peace, love, and light,

the world will survive -- only the environ upon earth required to sustain human life faces tragedy -- and it will not be permanent -- humanity may never return -- but the earth will abide -- sad we are so unintelligent and short sited as to not see the havoc we have wreaked -- peace and love to you my dear friend -- JMW
Abdi-Noor, your poem rings with great truth and horror! What has mankind done (and is still doing) to himself and this planet? May God have mercy on us all! Exceptionally well expressed poem, my friend!
I believe we are in the Last Days, Abdi-Noor: God have mercy. Just heard on the news of a gunman shooting and killing two truckers, injuring several others ... just out of meanness. He is on the run ... it's news like this, man's inhumanities to man, that makes me sad. Pray for me?

Human beings will die, too
Since we only have one world, we must not be very intelligent beings after all.
