Suicide Us, Virus

by Nickolas Crosby

Civilian villains vivisect the Earth.
Moving soil, showing loyalty only to oil on demand.
We are a viral infection spreading like wildfire
without the prospects of regrowth that natural disasters
have on hand.
I imagine that the intentions of inventions like engines
never meant to end with the world at our mercy.
So the Earth turns to purging the swollen population
with AIDS, cancer, and the shedding of its Ozone layers.
"STOP THE GLOBAL WARMING!"
cries the virus
in crazed efforts to
stop the fever.
They are deceiving you into believing that it's the earth they wish to relieve,
and like a daydream, you fall for it,
coming up with new ways to live longer
and become stronger, as to strangle every last ounce of life from the globe
while pushing Todays High to an all time Low.
I say, let it RISE.
Let the cancer patients die.
Let wars surface like shoots of bamboo pushing their way through the hillside.
Worldwide Genocide and Aerosol cans,
I'm burning with loyalty only to oil on demand;
saving the World in which we won't live.

Author's Note: A dream in which the earth was a large, ocean and continent covered person, and people were like germs.
