Adding Statements To Facts Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Adding Statements To The Facts

Anything you can say about him,
bests and deserving,
base or undeserving,
killings and sins,

Mother Earth was kind,
provided all ingenious materials he needed to live,
suns conducive to plants, plantations and animals for foods, shelters,

He was greedy, took more bites than his share,
allowed, allocated and illegal,
the infightings among the brothers and sisters, the world wars,
had been terrible bloody and costly,

The world the cities had been
glazed In such elegance and modern
disgrace,

And the dirge and the fallen members,
juxtaposed,
some species eventually died, extinct, due to excessive poachings, killed or some, by their own predatory instincts,

Tasks has limits to this planet untenable situation
pollutants deposited as carbons in the air,
the ecosystems in indelicate imbalance, overcrowding and industrial over sourcing,

He created the plastic bags as this deadly un recyclable indestructible pollutants
now its in every rivers and seas,
ocean floors littered with tons of wastes,
embedded infish intestines, birds and even our own, micro blood samples of this cellular materials,

I should have hope he will prevail,
in the uncertain future,
He was careless, grandiose and irresponsible curators-and destroyers,

And the destructive war chieftains and modern Midas's, ,
killing his own brothers as Cain did,

And the dead Abels, like mythology like history, like territorial disputes, wars not settled properly,

He did all that in the name of self preservation,

And the Gods who gave him this tyrannical veins,
made him a worthy, unworthy successors, extensions of the humanrace.
