The Earth Speaks with Anger

This is a poem about the destruction of the earth by the hands of mankind.

I am Earth; I am a life form that can live forever.

My formation is a spectacle to behold.

I am the most beautiful planet in the constellation.

From my soil, humans were taken.

And to my soil, they will certainly return.

Mortal beings have a short lifespan.

I keep all creatures alive for a limited time.

Mankind is an undesirable being.

I regret that man was made out of my resources.

 

Foolish humans have polluted my atmosphere.

I can hardly protect myself from the sun.

They have spoiled my beauty with deforestation.

My pure water they have contaminated.

And they have ruined my dry surfaces.

Mankind is the worst creature in the universe.

They have removed my vital minerals.

My stones and metallic particles they have mined.

And my oil, my blood, they have drained.

 

I am Earth; I do not need humans to survive,

But they cannot live for one minute without me.

Humankind has been ruining me for millennia.

The destructive activities of mankind cannot continue.

I have been a faithful home for humans,

But they have been trying to end my existence.

The extinction of mankind is inevitable.

It is evident that wicked people will never change.

I have reached the limit of my patience.

 

No longer will I put up with the insanity of mankind.

I have provided food in abundance for my inhabitants.

Ungrateful humans bite the hands that feed them.

The damage they have caused will take centuries to heal.

I must repair myself and restore my paradise,

So I shall destroy humans with natural disasters.

Plagues and pestilent I shall unleash on their generations.

I shall burn humans with wild forest fires.

And I shall bury them beneath toxic volcanic ash.

 

I am earth; my anger has risen against all people.

Mankind will see the power of my elements at work.

Lightning will strike their towers and their fields.

They will freeze to death in ice and snow.

I shall demolish their cities with great earthquakes.

Tornados and hurricanes will leave nothing standing.

I shall flood their coastal towns with tsunamis.

The bones of miserable humans will rot in my soil,

But I shall preserve the lives of other living things.
