An Epitaph For Man

While leaves are green and bright the sun While water flows so pristine pure Prize these blessings before they're gone Fouled by greed and Man's erasure. Dread the time when Earth shall be Naked of all these fawn and fauna- Devoid of things that we used to see A denuded cavern of our enigma. With all our man-made indiscretions The air itself will be null for breathing, Reaping death in nuclear explosions Perhaps in time, it's poison we're inhaling. So here we will lie and thus be remembered: 'This is the specie created for dominion Over plants of the Earth, all creatures and herd, Sadly he caused all of their destruction.'
