Ravaged earth convulses, sullied oceans wail, poisoned air chokes.
Apex-predators, archons, warmongers, vultures
Unleash mayhem, crush, grind, cannibalize
Dark, deadly deeds mock sunrays, jest at moonlight
Whole societies oppressed, harvest inequality, hate, chaos, violence
Primed, programmed, peons, serve soulless leadership
Inured labour-force, mindless consumers, mere cannon-fodder
Beloved, cherished offspring, hapless victims, grist the mill
Greedy, soulless, opulent global overlords
Demigods of the universe, upset sacred cycles, of eons
False prophets, preach perennial, perpetual, profit
Wage ceaseless, ignoble wars on Mother Earth-Gaia-Bundu
Sack, hack, disembowel, nature's beauteous bounty
On life support, precious, fertile, womb shredded, rendered junk
Ravaged earth convulses, sullied oceans wail, poisoned air chokes
Violated, demeaned, diminished, sapped
Mankind's cash-cow nearing exhaustion, skirting ruination
Yet, not done chiding, clamouring, protesting, messaging
Heatwaves, droughts, wildfires
Melting glaciers, warming oceans, flooding
Famine, societal upheaval, pandemics, wars
Stockpiled nuclear arsenals, readied, set to go
Greenlighted mutually assured destruction, nanoseconds away
Humanity joins Mother Earth to lament and weep
Together, wail and sob, cry out from the deep
Reverse our course, lest life, in all forms
Be damned, to eternal, lifeless, sleep.
