The Earth is OldA Poem by John ButlerPlanet Earth is on it's last legsThe Earth is old and jaded in a wrinkled mantle Her flesh carved and served on a nuclear platter while the dust settles Like cobwebs in a dark cave where spiders choose to live Away from the light as the dark covers her sorrows Mother Earth is barren now and old age settles on her shoulders As She looks back on a time when her youth flourished Before the cancer of Humanity ate her innards like a starving pariah Stooped and bent in two as the universe weeps with pity The Earth is old and jaded in a wrinkled mantle Tears softly falling on her plains as she succumbs to Humanity © 2016 John Butler |
