Perhaps the sea will take back the earth.
Since we have treated her so badly
smothered her in cement
pierced her for oil
scarred her for coal
shaved her for wood
burned her for progress
suffocated her for our cars
Perhaps the sea,
swollen with sadness
warmed by anger
hot with rage
betrayed by this species that is
blind, deaf and dumb
Perhaps the sea will roll over
the land. And us.
Perhaps the sea will take back the earth.
