Misanthropy

Lost in a swirl of existential crisis
About the blight on this planet
That is
Mankind

White, black, red, yellow
All the hues of algae
On this otherwise
Effervescent pond,
Self-important scourge
Destroying it slowly
Every step of the way
For its own benefit, without consideration
For future self-important generations,
Continuing into infinity
Contributing nothing
In the grand scheme of things

The worst part of all
Is that it’s
Encouraged to continue
