POMME POEM
By Sally CurriePosted: 10/06/2020
©Sally Currie October 2020
It was a mere apple that started it all
At the event that was labeled “The Fall.”
When Eve plucked the fruit of the forbidden tree
That led to creating people like me
But we overdid it by bounds and by leaps
Over-peopled the earth and created trash heaps
Our air is polluted, out health has declined
Divisiveness reigns and states are reclined
Open your eyes that you have shut tight
As smoke in the air turns day into night
Look at the awesome spread of the virus
That, raging unchecked, will soon expire us.
I have a comment, for what it’s worth:
We may be seeing the end of the Earth.
