Infecting the Earth

The deer was left in pieces,
the right top of his torso laid on the right side of the road,
with his eyes still open staring into mine.
The left bottom torso laid on the left hand side of the road.
In the middle was his parts, and a puddle of blood.
Drove by in sadness and silence, as we watched the dismal scene.
All I wanted to do is scream.
We are a cancer on this earth,
top of the food chain
and the greatest earthly drain.
When will we realize we take to much,
that the greed is contagious and overpowering,
that life is worth so much more.
We are all so stupid and so insane, to continue the way we do.
The o-zone layer, the distinct animals, the melting ice caps.
In exchange for larger highways, more technology, anything taboo.
We are just waiting for this world to collapse.
We are powerful, and will destroy anything in our way,
it's unbearable to watch and leaves me with such a disarray.
