Humanity Despoils,
Greedily grabbing space,
Excluding all others
In our drive for domination.
We innovate so well,
Creating chemicals that poison,
The World,
We spew our waste
Far and wide,Too much
Too Fast,
To process.
That’s all.
3 Ways we disconnect,
Separate ourselves,
Wrongly, from life.
So reverse!
Look at the other side,
Restore and reconnect
Create spaces for ALL life,
With Humans included!
Recycle the poisons,
Properly!
Release nothing,
That won’t become food.
Moderate releases,
Let our helpers,
Our supporters,
Do their job
Clear our waste away,
So the cycle is closed
To live
To thrive
To be happy
Healthy
And whole
We need to take
The RoundView

About the poem

Original poem by:

Spun From Air and Sunlight

Biology lecturer

Spun From Air and Sunlight is a 56 year old Biology lecturer from the midlands, he rediscovered poetry as a way to express his feelings after the death of his wife in 2023 and passionately believes that behind the sadness this world is filled with, and driven by, the power of joy. When he discovered RoundView he was blown away to realise that it was the missing piece of the puzzle that lets humans understand how they fit into the wonderful network that is life on Earth.
