Wild winds rage through a once gentle spring breeze.

Summer heat swelters hotter,

Than all the previous years.

Rains ransack an Earth dry,

As soils wash away in raging tides.

Volcanoes swell,

Earthquakes rumble,

The land gives way,

As tornadoes hurl in pleasure.

How long do we really believe

Our lazy actions will sustain

The bountiful, breathing planet

Provided to us, ago, so many lives.

A planet lush with living,

Every necessary ingredient for life,

Until the sullen, blackened moment

That greed took over the fight.
