CARNAGE

The Earth is gasping for breath,
Crying for mercy.
As it stumbles with what is has got left,
With no hope, dreams or energy.

The Earth is sick and injured,
Potholes are many in its hide.
He screams out with pain, anger and hurt,
But, there is no merciful soul in sight.

Man like a ??? grows,
On and on and on,
Remorseless, cold, no compassion he shows,
And slowly, all Earth's treasure is gone.

There's a whimper,
As Earth's greens fall to a ghostly end.
There's a shiver,
As mountains quiver into sand.
There's hunger,
As animals lose their land,
Yet who cares for those who suffer ?
Certainly not Man !

On and on and on,
The ??? spreads far and wide.
Battered, defiled and torn,
The Earth falls despite its might.
On its knees it pleads, forlorn,
But Man has lost sound or smell or sight !

With one mighty cry the Earth heaves up,
In a thundering voice it claims its spoil.
In almighty show of vengeance it throws up,
Man and his puny machines cry and recoil.
Why me ? Why me ? The stupid fool voice up,
As he watches his work destroyed, as his houses boil.
In his foolishness he does not grasp,
That he has destroyed the fruits of his toil !
