Grievous Sins Of Man

raping the earth
killing the trees
molesting the creeks
stealing the fruits
shooting the birds
depleting the forest
converting them
to golf courses
polluting the air
and space with
so much noise
swindling the natives
lording over the poor
get rich quick-schemes
nuclear war heads
pulverizing everything
silencing the people
falsely testifying to the
sun, the stars and the moon.

the worst:
not doing anything
