Venne, Videt, Delent*
They came, They saw, They destroy

They came, after days and nights of travel from different places

With them are vicious machineries, roaring to harvest the land

Nourished by the earth itself

They saw, with hungering and ambitious eyes

Over the fortune they can make out of the natural wealth

The land restlessly developed for years

They Destroy, with their machines

They senselessly cut down timber, dig out ore and hunt down animals

For no other reason other than their greedy and materialistic desires

Then they leave, going to another land and repeat the evil cycle; leaving the

former ruined and devastated
This refers to the consumeristic and materialistic behaviour of mankind - willing to obtain wealth at the expense of nature. this likely suits corrupt corporate leaders, animal smugglers etc.

Also i compared humanity to a horde of locusts since i find that two species bear something in common - consuming practically all green material wherever they go.

P.S: This is my first poem
