Another Face of Earth
Chaplin’s my best friend.
‘Tis why my rancour rambles
In the rain while I try
To make lemonade
With rainwater. It ain’t easy.
‘Least I got rain.
And the rain rests on Earth.
But Earth? Lonley.
Mere mortal, wake up!
The Earth thou wasteth
Is not yours to destroy.
Borrowed from your future descendants,
She is yours, only to nurture.
You fly too close to the Sun.
Behold! The Earth shall avenge.
Raining during your ecstasy,
Waves shall reach for the sky
And mountains will spit fire in anger.
And the world shall be another Pompeii.
Take heed, Man.
The Earth’s life depends on you
And yours, on the Earth.
– Merlin Raphael
