Etched

Morning Canadian morning, 7a.m .
The sun was rising from the brims of the horizon, and the misty morning fog of autumn has slowly started to clear. A new day was to begin. Living in the heart of the forest, the forest ranger was about to start his routine.
Wandering through the forest, the thin, sweet scent of the wild flowers and the slight woody smell of wet tree trunks mixed together gives a jolt towards those who smells it. The birds chirped through the trees, while occasional pecks of woodpecker signals the start of a days work. Down by the lake, the pristine waters are clearer and more still than any mirrors on the market.
A deer nestled near the lake. It was beautiful, serene, yet also oblivious, quietly drinking water from the lake. Slowly savoring the taste of a pure and crystal drink. Who would to know that a hunter was waiting, silently under the cover of the bushes? With a hunting rifle in one hand and a binocular in the other. He see the deer, and aims..
Another beautiful creature gone under the manifestation of human greed. Another life off this planet.
Behind the serene beauty of the forest, bodies of dead animals lay in the darkest parts of the forest. The 'area of death', the locals name it. Excessive human deforestation has taken the life away from these areas.
Branches lay all across the land, dead trunks everywhere. The ground hints a shade of black while earthworms, birds all lay dead on the ground, where vultures are having a good meal on the deceased. The musty smell of death bequeathed a sense of death to those that smelled it. Human cigarettes lay across the soil.

Its hard to be the sole sentient beings on earth. Its even harder to control the innate human desires.
Greed
Lust
Power.

But in the pursuit of greed, the quiet natures and the benefactors of human are slowly harmed by the exact people who believe that they are the ones who are always right, the superior beings.
One day we will eventually harm everything, and leave nothing behind.

Like in science fiction movies, where we have to search for a new planet.
It shouldn't happen
