The Effect Of Us

How?
That one word
Richoches inside
My head. 
How has our world become 
This corrupted? And
As soon
As I
ask
That question, 
An answer 
Comes to me. 
Us. Humans.
We are the ones 
Who have 
Poisoned the 
Land,
Who have warmed the waters,
Who have created 
This monster
Who
Roams the earth
And traps
The sun’s golden
Rays to contain heat. 
And while some try to 
Cage this
Beast that we have
Created,
Other’s scoff, refusing to believe
That they have 
Helped make this.
And still others
Have given up, 
Saying that
It’s too late
To right 
This wrong.
