The Mission

A Poem by Jim Walters

        

The Mission

 

If God sent Man out to search and destroy

Then everything else makes sense.

If Odin be He and warriors be we

And He cared not the consequence.

 

Then we well trained elite have skipped not a beat

As we've ravaged and subdued the land.

Turning flora to mud and fauna to crud

We've met and exceeded God Odin's demand.

 

But what if the book that we cherish

Be it Bible, Koran, or the rest

We're merely a fable that made us not able

To see the great danger in soiling one's nest.

I like this. You wisely write and dissect the spiritual aspect of the destruction of the earth. Favorite lines "We're merely a fable that made us not able....To see the great danger in soiling one's nest."
