Dead Land
We laid our foundation on the ground
of a rock without foundation.
The mountains cracked and crumbled
and we separated our nations.
The land crumbled at our need
with a somewhat hesitation,
and we filled the cracks and craters
with a partially thoughtful predation.
Eden became barren from the land that it once was,
and sank it to the cold, dark ocean,
so we can take credit for what it does.
And the oxygen that we must breathe,
it belongs to our nonliving pets,
as we take away
from our every day,
pretending that we're nature's vets.
