Propaganda, lies
And conspiracy theories
Are killing people
Your rights end where mine begin
Wear a mask and vaccinate

Lone bristlecone pine
Bears the scars of lightning strikes
But has not succumbed
Wise old man on mountainside
Wizened by millennia

Will the earth miss us
After we have killed ourselves
Earth will carry on
Healing slowly over time
Once human virus is purged
