One bad Apple

One bad apple.

He watched in horror

the apple of his eye

Earth, Mother

being chomped on.

United States left hanging,

torn from its moorings

chewed, as States

of sobriety fell like crumbs.

Gluttony finally removed.

The Middle East gnawed,

spat out for its envy,

the venomous scourge gone.

The Universe's Watchdog,

the Cosmic Giant

decided, all bad bits

had to be discarded.

Comets formed from ice cap's drips,

Europe now ligaments dangle 

from the Earth's crust.

Polluted dust of lands, past

travel endlessly through space.

The remnants of a dark civilisation,

now orbital reminders

in Saturn's rings, waste.

All that was left,

the Earth's core

the disease removed,

Mankind.

Meanwhile, the women lived on Venus!

Men welcome, please apply.

The last Martian.

This is so clever!
Quite a serious piece so I like the funny touch in the end. But without it, it is stunning.
