i think about my time
walking around a vast expanse of nothing
it will be endless.
my body will go to the land.
land i damaged
hurt and killed
with my every waking breath
the land will take my body
unwilling yet grateful
and as i rot
the land will look at my
rotting liver
broken heart
black tar in my lungs
unbroken, unchanging, unmoved
destroyed
and sigh as she goes on with her day.
subconsciously happy that another
killing machine
is of her planet.
you know sometimes i think of mother earth as one of those grandparents
you know the whole "get off my lawn"
cliché
except the teenagers don't leave
the hormonal beasts rip off her lawn to expose
her jewels of life
marvels of wonder
and then what do they do
they take it.
so when mother earth sees another mortal soul
who's every waking breath
hurt and killed,
un broken un changing un moved
she sighs and goes on with her day.
