A Grieving Planet

Nature does not mourn

Its many limbs we burn,

Yet humanity is torn

Within the masochism of watching it

Set itself ablaze.


A terminal case of depravity:

We have locked ourselves in a sauna 

And thrown away the key.

We said time would heal our wounds

But it only served to distract us from

The fire in our souls.


Like a bond severed by shattered trust,

Or blood seeping into wool,

Nature does not mourn

The destruction we have caused.
