An apology

by Nikol
(Malta)

Gaia forgive us,
for this corrosive pus,
we call humanity.

Gaia forgive us,
your ungrateful runts.
We were born into order and splendour,
but chose to create chaos and misery.

Gaia forgive us,
those that choose to sit back and ponder,
and be accomplices to our own slavery.

As the seeds of our actions grow,
they will drag us down low,
deep into the abyss of our own despair.
There we will suffer that which we deserve.
