Smoke fills the air

As all cry with despair

Tears raise the sea

As the truth is now seen.

Panic blooms, mountains crumble

The sound caries, a distant rumble.

The sky turns crimson as it burns

The sea boils as it twists and churns.

The lessons we need have still not been learned.

Lightning flashes, thunder crashes

Bolts from the heavens hammer upon us

Yet still we turn a blind eye

To the pain of the Earth on which we reside.

What will it take, to make us understand

The destruction and chaos now at hand?

Will it be when the air we breathe chokes us?

Or when out bellies whine with need for food?

Will we look around then, and see the land we’ve abused?

Understand the fate to which we are doomed.

Knowing this race, and the lives we live.

I doubt it then, for still too few will care.
