Mother Earth at COP26

I guess my invitation was lost in the mail

Or maybe you lost my address
Even though I have never moved

But no matter
I am here now

As you like carbon so much
Let me tell you that diamond days are coming

The pressure will be internalized
As your lungs graphite bind

This should make everyone so very happy
Metastability of tissue giving way to allotropic desire

Everyone now so very rich
Just one problem

It will chip with days as sky combusts
And with point engrave upon tablet of each heart

That last breath was traded for the illusion that cut through you.
