Earth Is On The Cross Poem by Teenage Mawuto

like judas
who sold christ for money
the people of this world
have sold the earth for money

earth will die
& will not rise
on the third day
like christ

people provoke the innocent atmosphere
by burning forests
& cutting down trees
giving birth to plantations & pastures
all in the name of money

the shameful people of the world
cover the poor eyes of the atmosphere
with a urine scented blanket
called carbon dioxide
so that god will not see their sinful deeds

the people of the world
burn coal, oil
& natural gas for energy
which will later make them perish
just like Judas & his blood money

everytime people burn oil, coil, trees
i envisage their acts
as people hurling insults
& throwing missiles
at christ on the cross

earth is nailed on the cross
earth will die
& will not rise
on the third day
like christ
