Kurt
Vonnegut Jr.
Requiem
The
crucified planet Earth,
should it find a voice
and a sense of irony,
might
now well say
of our abuse of it,
"Forgive them, Father,
They know
not what they do."
The
irony would be
that we know what
we are doing.
When
the last living thing
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if
Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of
the Grand Canyon,
''It is done."
People did not like it here.
The
final words from his last book,
"Man
Without A Country"
