The Human Flood – a poem

The Human Flood 

 

One million victims

Of the human flood.

One trillion fossils

No longer flesh and blood.

 

A holocaust of thoughtlessness;

An Armageddon by intent.

Caused by human hands

A catastrophic event.

 

From pesticide and chainsaw;

From pollutant and gun;

From climate change to farming;

We’re killing every one.

 

They have nowhere to go,

No means to escape.

We’re harrying them to death

In an everlasting rape!

 

One million victims

Of the human flood.

One trillion fossils

No longer flesh and blood.

 

Opher – 6.5.2019

 

 

The natural world I love is being systematically destroyed. Our constant mantra of expansion; our consumer paradise; our relentlessly burgeoning population is creating a concrete and plastic jungle.

 

It will be the death of us all unless we do something about it!
