man's destruction coming to a planet near you

close your eyes
rise above
fifty feet off the ground
seperate yourself
from a world that were in
look down at whats going around
can you see the madness
disrespect torture
of the earth
and all it's beauty
can you feel the anger
the tension in the air
what are we doing to each other
in the world we know.
look up at the stars
what is it you see
the moon, clouds, rock
dust why are we in such awwe
of the outter space
is it because were so small
I do not think this is it
here on earth man thinks
he is the biggest of all
why is it we need to go to mars
so we can destroy it to
as we done too the earth
how many planets does man
want to destroy until
he is satisfied do you not see
mars is not a waste land
it is beauty in its own
for the earth was also at one time
until man made it his own
just wait all you planets
for man is on his way
too destroy you,
just ask the
moon.

About this poem:
how can we expect to go to other planets if we can not treat our own planet with care. it is like you destroying or making a mess of your own home and going to your friends home and treating it in the same respect. look at the garbage the astronouts throw out the space shuttle into space and the garbage they have left on the moon and now mars. and who knows what other planets are next in line. for our own greed of satisfaction.

Hi, kickit,
Yes, although there is a tendency to feel superior, what other animals frivolously destroy their own homes/life-giving environments KNOWING that they are doing so but do it anyway? Though you poem begins with close your eyes, thank you for trying to open ours.

Hi Kickit

A timely write recognising the peril we put the planet in by the reckless way we pollute and pillage the fragile eco-structure.
A topical and persuasive narrative.
