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!
