Kurt Vonnegut: Requiem
The crucified planet Earth,
Should it find a voice
and a sense of irony
might now well say
of our abuse of it,
“Forgive them, Father,
They know now what they do.”
The irony would be
that we know what
we are doing.
When the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
“It is done”
People did not like it here.”
