Green with Generosity

third planet in this solar system marked Earth
positioned on grid site for life-sustaining system
reconfiguring energy law applied
beings sentenced to greed lesson
unicellular organisms consume to prosper
fungi, bacterium, viruses infect life to live
plants steal energy for sustenance
plants kill plants for more energy
animals kill plants for nourishment
animals kill animals for sustenance
water erodes land
land diminishes water
wind diminishes water and land
remembrance of original energy
self perception reconfigured
unicellular organisms sustain life
fungi, bacterium, viruses clean debris
plants give oxygen 
plants create shelter
animals process plant seeds
animals give sustenance to animals
water nourishes land
land preserves water
wind prevents stagnation
greed lesson attained

Scribe

It is my lot in this existence to sit and wait.
It is for me to watch and not participate.
A judge am I that has grown into the chair
and has become immobile, only offering a glare.
At least my robe conceals my deformity,
yet the whole contraption gives me enormity.
I sit and cast my devastating written blows
about caustic draws and controversial shows.
In those arguing moments of putrid, public stink,
my ravenous pen doth hungers for its bloody ink.
