Elucidating Questions

I feel such tremendous anguish when I observe this planet

This Universe of chaos

It’s so beautiful

But we stain it with our presence

The things humanity does

If you look at any animal besides us

You cannot know what they know, wrong from right, atrocities from kindness

But humans

They have the capacity to know

And more frighteningly decide to not know

It takes mere thinking to uncover how our planet is feeling

A mere intuning with the seasons and the weather

You only had to look for a few years

But humanity doesn’t have a very long attention span

It should not be like this

Paedophiles should not run the planet

People who rape the Earth should not run the planet

And you look at history?

White people eating black people and mummies.

Trying to destroy the indigenous peoples of any place

The Earth, she is so beautiful

But we don’t deserve to see her beauty and destroy it anyways

Whomever gave us free reign to take another’s life

To confine

To bring ruin

Were you hoping that the good would outweigh the insanity?

In a Universe where guns are possible?

Most good people don’t want guns

What were they supposed to protect themselves with?

Why is the solution to erase others?

I don’t know how you can know what death is and still take a life

I don’t know how you can know what air is, what an atmosphere is, and still pump noxious fumes into the air

I don’t know how you can know that there’s a liquid core and immense pressure within our planet and still try to drill as far down as possible

I don’t know how you can know what feeling pain is like and hurt another person

And my father tells me if I believe in his Christian god it won’t matter

But father

If everything in the Bible is true then this is the garden your god made us and we should not be destroying it nor the creatures within it

Why would you be okay with its destruction?

Why would you not love everything within the garden as your own family and kin?

I want to embrace what is here, now

I want this world to be better than I had

There’s children being born now

They’ll be adults when I’m a senior

I don’t want this world for them

Should we not protect the beautiful place we call home?

Why must we stain this Universe with our unsightly behaviour?

It’s so beautiful here

But watching humanity makes me feel sick
