Terra on Fire

Meanwhile, the Earth continues to burn

A goddess on fire; Her breath is ignited. An imbalance inside, Her defenses; excited. Humanity’s last call, afterparty denied us.

Clouds of flame and soot for a sky, but take your time while you try to decide. (She tends to win) in case you’re divided. If you say you’re not worried or much less, frightened, you don’t understand and are too stupid to hide it.

Withered leaves in June life exhausted and consumed by unordinary heat inflicting ordinary wounds on a planet afflicted. Doomed — by me and you to be a tomb for our children and grandchildren and all the kids of tomorrow.

Their only inheritance being our excuses and sorrow. The check our ignorance wrote paid in full by our daughter’s daughter. This is worse than leading lambs to a slaughter — this is like watching them burn slow in hot lava.

Everything we love and the memories we hold drifting up to space now in a puff of smoke. Money-makers mock it and make it a joke, but a candle burned at both ends, leads to running out of rope.

Don’t like the message? Just flay the messenger. You talk real big when it's teenage girls that’s comin’ at ya.

Justice is a dish best served when deserved. Let’s see you stay sane versus us the protectors of words. Online bullies, incels, cowards. Swingin blind in hopes of fighting something you never understood. Meanwhile, the Earth continues to burn.
