Favorite Quote:
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more."
-Lord Byron


Down this road I walk

Trees tangled in my hair.


The world is coming to an end.

Pray tell,

Why they don't care.


Our world is beautiful.

She’s emmensily strong.

Unfortunately, for us,

She’s been too strong

For far too long.


We didn’t take care of her

Like we should,

Like she deserves,

And she’s crying

“Go away.”


The author's comments:

What we are doing, what we aren't stopping, is basically irreversible at this point. Our only planet is dying and when it does, we don't deserve to move to another one.
