Goddess of Love

WARNING: not about goddesses or love.


when it all went dim most were left asking
"what happened to the sun under which we were basking?"
when the haze crashed in and their comforts in dirth,
many a soul soon regretted their birth.
a dim glow was let in, and it couldn't escape.
the planet from afar looked like a ripe green grape.
the people burrowed themselves into underground caves
and to rudimentery survival had they become slaves.
once full of trees and animals and natural wonder
but now the rain is corrosive because of their blunder.
their civilization is dead, and soon the last will be gone.
and in their final breaths they might ask what went wrong.
and you as you read this may think I refer to us.
but no, this is the parable of a planet named Venus.
