Earth’s Revenge
I’ve
always sneered at people
Who assign
human emotions
To
inanimate things
A planet
has no feelings
Its
actions have no motive
It is it
does that’s all there is
But
consider this:
All
systems have defense mechanisms
The human
body has antibodies
It employs
in the destruction
Of viral
enemies
Every
society develops herd immunity
Antibodies
on a grand scale
A planet
is a system too
A
contained system of great complexity
A system
under constant attack
By the
human species
A grand
civilization dedicated
To
destroying ecosystems
Threatening
the health and balance
Of the
whole
What if we
are the virus?
What if
the virus is the antibody?
The
earth’s defense against us
Now it
begins to make sense
