Heres an orange
Put it on the windowsill
Lovely firm fragrant
A couple of days later,
Whats that?
A small patch of mold?
An aggressive growth
By the next morning
Grey slimy smelly
Completely ruined
In an instant
Heres a blue planet
Millions of years
In its course around the sun
Lovely teeming with life
Astonishingly rich and beautiful
Whats that?
One aggressive species
Gone from a few thousand to ten billion
In the blink of an eye
Heedless and wanton
Leaving a lifeless ruin
In an instant
