Apocalypse Dream

I dreamt that the earth
lost her tolerance 
for humanity and decided
to rid herself of the plague
which she pledged to protect
millions of years ago
but she became enraged
and disgusted 
with what she saw 
around her and
parted her lips
and opened her mouth
which I imagined 
looked like a broken
fault in the concrete
of Los Angeles that
would engulf hundreds 
of business men 
and their brief cases
and the cars which crowded
the streets and filled
her lungs with a smog
as thick as it is in Newark
and in Newark waves 
would crash down 
from the atlantic and 
wash away the pestilence 
in the crack and w***e
houses which line
the thousands of streets
in anywhere USA.
She opened her eyes 
on New York and wept
for it compassionately
as the rain which fell from
her eyes swept up everyone
on the streets and cleansed
them too as she did in Newark.
No one was safe. 
Paris had been devoured
in the mouth and Tangiers 
was burned in her fury.
I had seen the purging 
of humanity everywhere
and became jealous 
because I will 
never rid myself of this disease

Excellent. First off, I completely agree with everything said against the human race, because we are a plague. I respect the fact that your trying to do something about it, but am saddened by the fact that this is probably all that any of us can do. selfishness and greed prevents any progress towards cleaning up our mess and one day we will be our own destruction. Great write, it flows quite nicely and has an engaging rythm. Good job and keep up the good work.

All I can say is , amazing. The scene you set seems so realistic it leaves a mark in ones mind. What I find scary though is that this is all so very possible. The way the human race wasted this world, with pollution and all that. I wouldn't be too surprised is this ended up happening. Again, great work.
