The Future Imagined

By Nitara Broughton and Isobel Waugh

The earth is a lamb ready for slaughter, It patiently awaits it’s gruesome murder

The earth is now a violent volcano. Spitting and spewing:

Flames cast earth in a fiery aglow

A blossom of light- possessing plants, animals and prospering life

But our ancestors were greedy and their need for more landed them in peril And now they’re singing their merciless carol.

Us, their future generations who now retreat to the darkness of space

Eternally longing for a new home to deface And all that’s left now in Earth’s place is a hovering mound of emptiness and waste But why is this?

Because of the greedy human race
