When our Planet's
tent is airless -
how can it give us
any breath to breathe?

The Sphere is:
a crust of pollution
coughing up tears,
emitting death and smoky heat.

In these circumstances!
Then, how can Mother Nature
give us any hope
for Life, or any prosperity?

Our lives are already
deteriorating fast,
beleaguered by violations,
and drudgery.
