Humanity Likes To Wage Wars On Life Poem by Terence George Craddock

war on people clans tribes nations
becomes war on land scorched earth policies
Viet Nam agent orange defoliant polices

deny the enemy sanctuary
refuge food shelter
safe places to hide

war increases to war on nature
deforestation of last remaining forests rainforests
war on insects crops spreads as agricultural insanity

then after insecticides chemical soups
have been sprayed poured on crops
land for generation scientists farmers

wonder where the insects the pollinators have gone

no bees left to pollinate crops
no birds in mass to eat insect infestations
more spray to kill insects birds

ate a quarter of their weight in insects daily for free

then wake up one day
realize why the land is poisoned
realize why crops fail

next step up war against the sea oceans
deep sea mining especially seamounts
so many contain arsenic gold glorious

increase war on oceans mine seamounts
deep sea mining seamounts will release
arsenic kill fish humanity can eat gold bars
