Natures death is our fault

This space

That we call ours

Is dying

Dying like the forests we cut

Like the reservoirs we destroy

 

We’re complain about the end

This global warming

That we created

WE created the end

 

We will end all of nature

All our happiness will leave

And all the pain will return

 

We can stop this

We can stop

But the powers that be

Won’t let us

 

There’s no money to be made in nature

And no happiness to be made in money

A great commentary on how humans treat the world. I like the repetition of certain phrases adn words to hit home the meaning of them ("dying", "end", "we created", "We can stop"). This double repetition also fits in with the double line stanza at the end, whic was my favorite part of the poem. The two lines were longer, giving htem more importance than the rest of the lines, basically telling readers to pay attention to that stanza. ANd the fact that there are two lines fits in with the duality of the text, the central problem. People will get money no matter how they have to go about it. Without money, our country might fail. But the way we go about it breeds unhappiness. So no matter what, we will be unhappy. Good poem. Thank you for the RR.

In the end the wealthy people will suffer the most. Poor people don't have too far to fall. Your words are true in this poem. The human race desire to destroy old earth can't be stop. The sad part is the people who did the damage won't pay the price. Their children will. That is the sad truth. A very good ending to a honest poem with a very good message.
