A short poem about modern civilisation


Without Looking Up

From atop the mountain
I look down
and see the torrid smoke and fire

The war on nature
fought without
tooth and nail
but with
petrol, and steel, and superior brains

We take what we want
and we burn what is left
pillage the earth
without joy or regret
walk on these shores
without touching the ground
wander this earth
without looking up at the sky
