Did the Earth rebel, and say, "enough!" ?

Maybe we could measure the amount of carbon emissions reduced by the number of flights cancelled by this volcano phenomenon...


Of course, the volcano itself has let off emmissions. But the Earth has the right to cry out in pain.

Haiti

100,000 people died tonight,
A few thousand kilometers from me.
God decided to rummage out
A piece of uneven earth,
And toed out a smidge of dirt.

Like kicking out a fleck
Of sand into the ocean
Which crumbles and disappears,
And you didn´t think it would vanish
But it does and goes in mounds.

And suddenly they´re all gone.



And I sit on my sofa, and listen to cars pass by.
