like a flea-ridden and famished hyena i drool
as if the earth is an appetizing carcass in waiting
for my sharp teeth that tear all and crush all
but one fair day there will be a price to pay
that is the truth we keep hearing from Earth
we shall weep bitter tears driven by Dearth
and laugh the mirthless laugh of the clueless
earth's bounty is diminishing every single day
ravished by our exponential greed and callousness
and Mother Earth sheds a forlorn tear as her heart breaks
she is worried about tomorrow's children and how they will fare
in this brutalized world where  the avaricious ones flourish
and the cries of helpless babies and orphaned children
are a macabre soundtrack to a score sheet of decayed morals
take some time this earth day to think about an extinction
that is by no means a nirvana; the bell is tolling a dirge
