Have destroyed our home and set it ablaze, and fast approaching are the end of days. The grass is brown and the snow is black, it's easy to see something's out of whack. With the dirty air and the waters drying, and so many empty stomachs sighing. Animals gone and never to return, and natures tough lessons we're about to learn. We just don't get it we abuse so much, and with reality we've lost touch. Really foolish indeed to ruin our place, knowing full well it's now extiction we face. With so much greed and quest for power, even in this, the earths last hour. Its just a matter of time for destruction looms, because more and more the human flame consumes. We are indeed the worlds worst disease, for we take and we take and do as we please. We have been unchecked for way to long, and now the earth plays our last swan song. |

May Earth's swan song be a long way off! Mind you, if mankind doesn't step up to the plate on this one, the swan song will be sung faster than one can say "pollution" or "drought" or "famine" or "pestilence" or "ozone depletion" or "hurricanes" or "diseases" or "floods" ~ or "the revenge of gaia"! Peace & Tranquility, Earth Angel |

As far as the abuses of mankind, I would say its not that much different from a hundred or even a thousand years ago...just more people, more pollution and more focus on the awareness...ask Al Gore...James |

Too close to stark reality.... not exactly the graceful swan scene we were given by Disney and company. Welcome to the blue screen. |

That is so true... Even though God gave humans the brain to think and think wisely... all we see these days is destruction done by humans that affect everything and everyone else around. Some natural disasters are just consequences of human misthinking. If only WARS were to stop... I think that alone would make our green planet a GREEN one... Peace! This poem spoke my heart out and I was never able to put my thoughts in words... you did a great job and a nice poem. Tears of Sanity |

Personally, I'm looking to get off this world, with all that pollution, war and slavery in the third world countries it hardly any fun living in the greatest place on earth. Enjoyed the poem. At least it wasn't another love poem, not that there's anything wrong with love poems. |

The earth is full of so much gloom, causing the feeling of impending doom. Weakening the knees with strength that caves, because of the floods, quakes, and massive waves. Violent storms and tornatos fierce, and every sense of peace these terrors pierce. Knowing full well it is but a taste, a warning there's no time to waste. For it is know brewing a great and mighty force, because to cleanse itself is just natures course. So things look bleek and the future grim, and afraid I am for chances seem slim. |
