"Spirit of the Flood" mixed-media by Pegi Eyers

---

Do not take a mountain for granted
for centuries on end
it seems like the most solid thing in the world
a lodestone, a presence, a beloved companion
 
Until the day certain humans
decide to rip a hole in creation
 
Fossil fueled, deforested, industrial,
ecocidal, technocrat, capitalist
spewing enough poison
to actually terraform reality
 
- EARTH -
Our home, our foundation
the essence of life itself
 
up in smoke
underwater
forests crashing
species dying
radiation killing
rivers rising
drought spreading
heat ascending
cyclones raging
mud sliding
mountains shifting
 
Do not take the evil in certain humans for granted
 
Save The Sacred
while you still can
