Generous Earth
Many humans are naturally good
Whether at business or having fun,
All treat Earth wisely; because they should.
Some satisfied with harm they’ve begun.
Killing Earth’s animals; sparing none
using meshes, traps, and sometimes a gun.
This planet is our momentary home
it's the great heaven that holds us all,
down to every gene and ribosome.
In wasting Earth’s kindness we think small.
Our works will lead us to our own downfall
rains peacefully then turns to a squall.
We’re a portion of a growing web
Tug a string and it starts to separate.
Until the soil that feeds us always wastes.
We possess big brains but bigger hearts.
And some are climbing up to do their parts
although that does not make a difference.
Specialists speak of colonizing Mars.
Earth is out of breath from fume quaffing cars.
