...Happy Earth Day?

Could you just step back and look a little?
Look at the world.
Dying.
Who knows how to really fix it now?
Because we're all dying too.
It's crazy like that,
to think that in a few breaths we'll all be gone from here.
Leaving it's poor, withering leaves to share our fate,
and what of the future?
Think past your own, for just a second.
Think to the future beyond your futile, minuscule life,
and then continue to pollute the air, the web, the sky
with all of your trash and hate.
Are you that egocentric?
Can you really not care?
Think of your ansestors who did all that they did to get you here
to the fortunate place in which you now lazily sit.
Look at the screen you're staring at now and think about it.
It's there for a reason. So are you.
So, are you actually going to not do anything about it?
Really?
Get over yourself. Or does stepping back to look strain you too much?
Poor baby.
Poor generations of babies.
