A brief poem with a message to tell.

We kill the beauty the world created
Is it any wonder our species is hated
Our own undoing, it seems, is fated
Because our realisation is belated
But how long can we ignore the facts stated
And say ‘the threat is overrated’

    Interesting. But people wont listen.

    People will eventually listen when the world is dissipating into the dirt and there is nothing left but death and destruction. Great piece my friend
