I have listened; watched the wind burst
in cyclonic sneeze and remarked at its destruction.
I have felt and witnessed mountains belch, their
pyroclastic breath rolling, enveloping, killing all.
I have screamed, watching the sea rise in horrid rebellion
betraying its children, watering their lungs mercilessly.
I have braced against the earth's mental breakdown
in tantrum knocking, strike-slipping, throwing, flinging life around.
I feel foreboding, overlooking a fallen star's Arizona message
from historic depression, life erased; a cratered memory.
Yet, for all its attempts, the universe fails to impart
to gain and hold man's respect.
As he wars amongst himself, consumed with...petty things;
as he ignores cosmic warnings.
Extinction returns in atmospheric cry, "Hours of Man!
Dinosaurs were stronger and just as dumb."
