FRAGILE EARTH FRAGMENT

 

Breath of the dragon

Ice of the Poles

Civilization’s emissions

In sky making holes

 

Brine impregnating seas

Solar systems in crystal globes

Blessing or curse of silent lips

Poisoned by treacherous microbes

 

Seeds bursting shells

Travesty of a speech

Goddesses, Saints, and Mythicals

Your assistance we beseech

 

Vikings and Italians and Indigenous too

Columbus Day on the way, land discovered

Now we’re faced with exploring outer space

And myriad mysteries to be uncovered  

 

Know that we bang the same drum

In our endless demand for freedom

But what is the high price worth?

Never destruction of our Earth…
