Our lust will turn to smoke, engulfing buildings galore.
Our greed will force all life from the sky, gobble up the clouds.
Our hateful nature will crack the streets, creating a permanent grave for our souls.
Our sins will shimmy up the trees, destroying our oxygen from the inside.
Our gluttonous minds will attempt to ravish the sun, shutting out our light.
Our beings will destroy this world, indirectly, but definitely.
We control the future; hats’ off to the end of the world!

Sad but true! We are doubtless on the path toward imminent destruction. Again, good job! I am surprised your poems haven't been published in the magazine yet!
