Rethink in progress.

 

The empty skies are echoing. There are no song birds left to sing.

There are no trees there is no grass. What was foretold has come to pass.

The world is dead and desolate. Mankind did not appreciate

 the need for conservation. He practiced exploitation.

Although resources were finite. Mankind thought they had the right

 to freely use all they could find and paid the future little mind.

Some realised but far too late what was to be their future fate

When all resources had been used but sadly most point blank refused.

To change their foolish wasteful ways, Thought new resources would replace.

What they consumed without a care and stripped the earth completely bare.

The race of man has now died out.The earth is better off without.

The race of greedy parasites who could not curb their appetites.

A self inflicted genocide: Mankind committed suicide.

The earth lies fallow now to rest because Gaia thinks it’s best

But in due course she’ll try again. With a new race to replace men.

We were a bold experiment which did not work as it was meant.
