The End
The
name of the crime is omnicide,
The
level of civilization which generates it, is
barbarism.
The
level of consciousness which spawns it, is
egocentrism.
The
deed mirrors the state of the perpetrators’ souls.
In
worship of mammon, humans are destroying
The
ability of the sole planet in the universe which
Supports life, to continue providing life a home.
The
miracle is being undone, torn apart.
We
are the moths shredding Indra’s net,1
The
monsters who kill our own children.
Lower
than worms in sensitivity,
Dante’s
Hell is our legacy.2
We
killed God and now we kill life.3
No
species has ever so betrayed its mates.
We
are a swarm of locust ravaging the Earth.
With
us, evolution sprouted a dead end.

1 In Hindu mythology, Indra is King of the Gods, and
also God of War, Storms and Rainfall.
The metaphor of Indra’s cosmic net was developed, during the 3rd
century, by the Mahayana School of Buddhism.
The net is laced with jewels at every intersection, each jewel
reflecting not only all the others, but also all the reflections which are in
the others.
2 Refers
to the classic poem, the Divine Comedy, by Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321).
3 Killing
God refers to the dictum of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900),
“God is dead.”
