Poem -
Sorry Earth
Oh weary Earth
how dour your time
once beautiful and thriving
now contaminated and brewing
A forever promised land
flourishing home for all
resourseful and rich provider
stands abused and wasted
What is this senseless madness?
that spills upon us
destroying at core
basic humanity and reason
A mindless desire for power
to override the mass
then be the King
to personal greed and belief
Stamp on the souls of good
until broken and dead
kill the heart of normality
leaving only bleak insanity
A terminal destruction
fearful inevitable ending
and hopelessness for our
miraculous planet
Oh beautiful Earth
not deserving of flawed humanity
destined to be a dead shell
to all our failings
Sorry

Hi Debs
so thrilled to have won. I will keep writing but don't think I could write one as good again. Hopefully it will aspire me to try. So pleased I found this site everyone so nice xx
Congrats on the win Wendy!
This is such a pained pining and confessional lament seeking forgiveness of Gaea, the spirit of Mother Earth, for the utter, blind and insensitive selfishness of our specie. At the same time it is a brutally honest and uncompromising mirror to the history of 'humanity',very subtly illustrating the irony that how alarmingly conflicting the two meanings of the word have come to be; one a collective noun for our specie and the other an adjective which rather loftily aspires a loose list of 'virtues' which could constitute being a human and humane.
Keep up the good work! :)
Thankyou for comments this poem came to me after watching the news one night and I just thought oh what a sorry state the earth is in and it is down to us and we should be sorry. :)
Indeed!
