WORLD

What a wide Word prompt !
my poem.


Where to is the World Spinning ?

It's rolling, rolling.
Stop the World and let
me off. It's twirling,
it's frantic, it's spinning
off its axis.

The World ? No.
Mankind, Yes.
Who is taking down
all fellow living things
with him.

The birds, the flowers,
the trees, the tiger, the panda,
the elephant, the rhinoceros,
the koala bear, the whale,
the bees, the butterflies.

The Oceans, the Mountains,
the clouds, the sky.
Warnings issued for over
50 years remain unheeded.
Only by too few.

The Earth is not in jeopardy,
It will heal itself.
It will adjust, transform.
Cease to be
the Blue Planet.

If air and water survive,
new species will be born,
with Time. Man may find
an escape route to make
the same mistakes.

All Over Again.
