I swear I will not leave this earth
This dazzler of prodigious girth
That huffs and puffs and shrinks and swells
Until the Chimes of Doom will knell
Without acknowledgement of guilt
That I did trod upon its silt
WIth nary care for steps I planted
All good and great I took for granted
How could I not? When all around
Was detritus of glut on ground
We pushed aside or hid it well
Were gorgers we? You could not tell!
But now the reaping of our sowing
The riptides of seas undertowing
The cracks and fissures spew with rage
The beaten beast escapes its cage
We are just ants on rotting frame
We hustle without fix or aim
And think we are superior
When truth is we’re inferior
To vastness of Time’s evolution
Which now roils with a revolution
We’re on a course of mass destruction
Though to the end we’ll try to function
Down with ship with weak excuses
Deny whole time twas our abuses
As earth caves in our fate approaches
And hands reins to the hardy roaches!
