Save the Planet

"Save the planet" the banners read
wave after wave of them
in the endless sea of those
who call themselves activists
They claim to want planetary salvation

They're blind to the truth of their cause
The banners should read "Save the human race"
Nature tries to rid itself
of the scourge crawling everywhere
On every available inch of her skin

It fights on, unrelenting
using every weapon in her arsenal
every element thrown at the pests
Water, earth, wind, and fire
The parasites weather all assaults
There are simply too many

Nature has Time on her side
The long war essentially a siege
Only once the wretched beasts are gone
can she repair the damage done
