WHAT IF?

What if…
The Earth is supposed to die?
A particle blasted away from the heart
Of the Big Bang, alone in the dark
Circling its own destruction
Waiting for deconstruction

What if…
The purpose of our mankind
Is to break it all down?
Drapage of burial shroud
By us, so well endowed,
With destructive dark arts
Over her private parks

What if…
The green activist conservationists
And tree hugger preservationists
Put obstacles in the way
Of our world’s final say
One last abject sigh
On her crowning path to die?

What if…
We have already done our job too well?
