THE FUTILITY OF MALEVOLENCE by Erica Haldane



The futility of malevolence

Long after our strongest man made treasures have been reduced to ash
And the last of our kind have been wiped away
Through war, famine, or another mammal’s idyllic greed
Like scattering dust being drawn off a windshield
The earth will be rid of the human disease

Queen Gaia who reigns over all
Will once again reclaim her kingdom
And the scars of the manmade mess will evaporate
Burdening the moon to carry
The last Sigilof human existence

Like all hardhearted conquers
Thoughtlessly plundering newly vanquished lands
We are a stampeding migration herd of naïve invaders
Who will learn too late:
Nature is the true queen that reigns over all
And we are merely visitors
In her kingdom that we call home
