Sudden crash and a blinding flash of light
Splits the darkness and shatters all the night,
Revealing all the earth, beneath th’ skies dome
Blasted, and frozen, the one chosen home
For a chaotic, cruel, misshapen god.
Trees, contorted, wail and strain in their sod.
Bending o’er backwards before th’ harsh wind,
Like prostitutes, or eunuchs, who, having sinned,
Hide themselves from judgement’s overbearing hand.
This raped and violated, sunken land,
Strugg’ling on in her rigorous dying.
Left to herself, no caring eyes prying,
She wails in pain—alone I hear her cry.
Abused, discarded, left alone to die,
Weeping, ever weeping, never turning,
She is a pregnant mother, now learning
The fearsome pain of giving birth to death,
While all the while new factories are built,
And all the while, man ignores his deep guilt.
