As I wander cold and alone

through a degraded landscape

I wonder what went wrong

to create this endless waste

unfit for humanity

can we change this society?

before all existence sends us a message

that we're not welcome on this planet

like scenes from chemical warfare

the spraying commenced

once the soil was vulnerable

the fauna was next

removing species to fit human needs

short sighted stupidity

we live or die in future successions

left up to hidden discretion

erosion

non-native species

fertility depleted

disease of affluence

far past capacity

for wildlife and humans

can we survive?

in this world we've created

vengeance for mankind

vengeance for mankind
