Everywhere in the world, the land refused to bear fruit โฆ
The sun shone cloudless in the sky and the rivers dropped and the seas shrank and the creeks and brooks dried up and the mountains were sear and the valleys yellowed all over the world.
The land hated us, the violated land, the faithful land , the exploited and gentle land. The land decided the we must die, and all innocent living things with us.
The land had cursed us.
Our wars and our hatred โ these had finally sickened the wise earth.
We did not know then:
That we stood indicted as the irreconcilable enemy of all life.
