The World

The world turns around and around

Until humans came about

the earth started to drown

because humans started to sprout.


They destroyed the world

with every step they took

their fingers, bloody broken, curled

around every valley, mountain, and brook.


They killed off their home slowly

acting like it was not their pollution

that caused it, because they were "holy"

Too focused on their consumer illusion


It was unliveable. It was too late.

Their unforgivable actions created an expiration date.
