Can we reverse the damage we've done?

Beginnings of 

A cave replete 

A history 

In gore complete 

A mega rage 

Of years entreat 

Devour earth 

To my defeat 

And how do we 

Do savor it? 

The kind of which 

Must discomfit 

A waterworld? 

A match past lit? 

A death null and 

A fitting split 

From life beginnings 

Do return 

To end of life 

And my sojourn 

From tree and cave 

A dweller due 

This litany 

In time for you 

The crime is past 

The deed is done 

This world without 

Its killing fun 

A season which 

In Bible time 

Must suit the need 

And fit the crime 

But how best He 

Will manage this 

When all have witness 

All amiss
