Our Earth Will Not Die: A Poetic Ode to Nature’s Resilience

1 / 2

Lynched, the lakes. Slaughtered, the seas. Mauled, the mountains. Yet our earth will not die. Acid rain falls on balding forests. Poisoned clouds weep mercury tears. A nuclear sun rises, turning man and meadow to dust. Fishes die in waters. Birds perish in trees. Rabbits vanish in their burrows. Still, our earth will not die. Soon new rain will wash our eyes. Trees will twitter and grasses dance. Hills will bloom with harvests and the seas will rejoice. Our earth will see again.
