If you couldn’t breathe the air
without a mask,
or you couldn’t
drink the water in your well?
Well?
(calming myself) I fail to see
how anyone (gesturing wildly)
thinks
that
excessive consumption will
not bite us in the ass someday.
Can’t you grasp the notion
of dwindling resources,
of toxic air (for all you gas guzzlers out there)
and water that slowly
kills us from within?
Birds fall from the sky
for no apparent reason
all over the world.
Buy a clue, people!
SOMETHING’S WRONG!
(You’re wondering why I’m so angry?)
Our planet is a
living organism,
created to support and sustain us
on our earthly journey.
What a slap to the face
of God
if we destroy it!
