Earth Day, a hope for humanity.
It is on this day we look ahead at the technological paradise that awaits us, a world of clean water, plentiful food and supplies and a worldwide respect for the small, green spherical world we inhabit.
In the meantime, rejoice in the Earth we have, a world where we have abandoned cities that will not habitable for thousands of years
In areas so heavily polluted with radiation that it causes animals to give birth to mutated offspring
An Earth where a trip to the seaside is fraught with danger and filth
Or, you could take to the oceans. They're nice and clean
The rivers are good, too. Holy water, that; have a swim!
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
An Earth where we indiscriminately spill toxins
and kill the most intelligent and beautiful species the world has ever seen
Happy Earth Day!
Let's stop this shit.
