When will the tragic destruction of Mother Earth cease?...
Arrogant species
Of insatiable appetite
Mindlessly devouring Gaia’s turf
For no reason save
Willful Ignorance
Arrogant species
Of unchecked worthless breeding
Willfully befouling Mother Earth
For no reason save
Bloated Ego
Arrogant species
Of gluttonous unending demands
Cavalier exterminator of Gaia’s precious habitats
For no reason save
Raw Greed
Arrogant species
Of bloodied hand and mind of ice
Callous assassin of Planet Earth’s sacred diversity
For no reason save
Supremacy’s Empty Fame
Arrogant species
Of stupidity’s rewards
Wanton destroyer of Life’s Humble Celestial Abode
For no Outcome save
A Doomed Destiny of Dinosaur Acclaim
Arrogant species
Of neglected soulful purpose
Singular architect of global chaos
Awash in disgraceful self-indulgence
Mockingly awaiting
Gaia’s Certain Revenge

Powerful. Truthful. Painfully honest. It's not an easy message I fear for the "arrogant species" to recieve, but I sure do hope they are listening. Terrific verses, I love the repetition and the rythme scheme.

"...awash in disgraceful self-indulgence..."
You have reduced the evil in the world to one succinct
sentence of profound adjective.
Yes...there will be a "Revenge" by God...and soon.
EXACTLY!!! man's greed has been the destruction of man since the beginning. The phrase "can't see the forest for the trees" will soon become can't see the forest because there is none. We are awash in self indulgence, apathy and greed. It is a path spiraling out of control and unless the majority do something it will all end one day. My favorite psalms is one of the haida indians, "We don't enherit this earth from our ancestors...we borrow it from our grandchildren",.
