Scourge of the Universe
The blood of crushed magnolias stains the universe,
mankind ruining everything it chooses to traverse.
Leaving bloody footprints and the litter of our lives,
we exploit everything we see and kill all that survives.
Why can’t we learn to live in peace, preserving leafy bowers?
What single other species is as ornery as ours?

I think humanity gets the “bad bunch” award as a species.

Ornery, in’deed.’ Heavy sigh. Oblivious, just found “Something Fierce, Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter.” Helluva read.
