'Earth Year 2100' Poem by Linda Winchell

While watching a special called, ” Earth 2100”
Of what may come one day to pass.
Made me do some deep soul searching
Of what we have seemed to Earthly trash.

We all are truly responsible
For the ruination of this, ” Planet Earth”
A planet that God had provided for man
A planet God the Father had given birth.

Viruses now plaguing all nations
Famine causing migration now to other states.
What have we done to ourselves?
What has become, of what we once called?
Called” The Human Race? ”

I don’t know now if we have the time
Time to maybe turn all this mess around.
Un-doing what we’ve created on Earth
Now looking back, seems so profound.

Asphalt jungles now under water
Whole ways of life now in ruins.
No where to bury the countless dead
No one to build America’s needed tombs.

Communications now but a past memory
No high tech, ” Truth now realized too late.”
Maybe learning from our ancestors
For those who have overcome Earths deadly fate.
