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
