The Message

Ten thousand suns have shifted yesterday to tomorrow
And yet this world stands still
Ebbs with unseen continuity
Slowly depending on its species to care for it.
And yet
I have seen, in the horizon
Hills that belch a menacing black fog
A fog that is the end
Our end.
Strange fish bob gently across the tides
These strange fish which they call "Plas Stick"
These strange fish the humans have released into our sanctuary
Snatching the life of an ancient ecosystem.
It is this hour
That we shall swear to restore peace to the damaged soil
Restore health to our greying oceans
Restore joy to our darkening world
While it is slowly withering by the hand of man until
It
Crumbles.
