Virus Within (TH)

We think we can just throw
our trash & all we don’t desire
onto the face of this earth,
clogging her precious waters
like years of litter doesn’t equal
the incoming death of humanity.

This planet’s immune system
senses the virus within
infecting its outer surface.

If nature sees us
as a continued threat,
there’ll be no choice
but to scorch
& start anew.
