May 2016
Whispers of this place echoes true,
contradictions where we were was blue
oceans H20 as far as these many eyes saw
splendour in beauty gazing in such awe.

We immersed ourselves in what we could see
thinking all places must be like this to a degree.
Hovering we slid upon air, to our bewilderment
what we saw decimated, natures tears on wildlife.

These rains fell on this barren now empty expanse
littered where carcasses of life, trees they hadn't a chance.
Why would something do this, we saw smoke,
We glanced and saw humanity had become broke.

Killing it lungs of which its breathe lingers on,
drowning its oceans in plastics it feeds upon.
There we those who were trying to change,
but greed a stupid conception, was the exchange.

We sent a galactic postcard out, what was seen today,
two contrasts of epic beauty and ravenous decay.
We wish to come back in a hundred years or so,
hopefully they'll have changed, can they though.
Aliens visit and are confused by our two ways of thought destruction for profit which is so outdated and the beauty we cling to keep.
