The Earth could only watch what happened to the humans their final day
How…whether or not they believed in a God…they all looked to the sky to pray
How humans in every language…from every corner of the world…
all beseeched the sky…all asking the same question…why…they wondered…why.
After hearing the humans’ question…the sky began to glow…
The God’s answer…carried on the thunder…
“How sad…you do not know.”
“We created you to love the Earth.” they cried.
"To love the animals and one another.
To treat everything and everybody…like a sister and a brother.”
“You ask why we are ending humankind…
why your time on this planet is short…
it’s because we’ve watched you pollute the land, the seas, the sky.” They said.
“It’s because you shoot animals..for sport”.
“It’s because we’ve provided you with enough food for your entire planet to eat…
yet some of you get fat while others are starving in your streets.”
“It’s because we’ve watched you wage war on one another…
we’ve watched how to other fellow human beings and creatures….you are demeaning…
It’s because you kill one another so easily…as if life, to you, has no meaning.”
“You ask how could we condemn you to such a tragic…horrific fate
You condemned yourselves!” their voices boomed, “when you turned our love to hate.”
And with that the sky above began to dim…it was no longer glowing bright…
silence descended on the land… as day turned into night.
And when the light returned…
upon the Earth peace and harmony reigned…
for every human was gone
and only the mountains,
the oceans,
the rivers
the sky
the plants
and the animals remained.
