I am Nature Crucified
"I am Nature crucified, hungry, thirsty, imprisoned, naked, abandoned – wishing some souls to stop, look and listen. "
Silhouette of a tree skeleton, Manila
whom my Creator assigned custodian of the living earth;
annihilated, forever removed from their place of birth;
- once lush forests now bare, desertification their fate;
take hours to destroy what I built for thousands of years;
vying for wealth and power, fighting among themselves;
swamps drained, estuaries blocked, waterways silted;
gases into the air form acid rain, and thin the ozone layer;
gene pools by selective breeding and genetic engineering;
ice caps and glaciers melting, raising the level of the sea;
in a runaway population living on fast lanes, and rat race.
the source of conflict, greed and poverty, unhappiness;
the faithful restrained to regain Paradise while on earth.
on the goodness of the human race in fraternal praises;
pitting God against one another in endless proselytizing;
human rights and democracy - tools of inaction and abuse;
building cities, tearing the earth, probing ocean and space;
to stir economy worldwide, wastefulness it consequence;
the goal and measure of superiority, nation against nation;
cryonics, cloning, robotics - triumvirates for singularity.
abandoned – wishing some souls to stop, look and listen. ~
