Conversations: the Moon and the Cosmonaut

The Moon:
I have watched the sun kiss the Earth's surface for many years,
It's skin erupted with life, immersing itself in a womb of the most
astounding colors.
Now populated, I am able to see a new life, an Earth that is forever being
morphed by a race that I have never been able to interact with until now.
Because, As near as I pull to the Earth, it is always far far away
So what I ask of you Cosmonaut, is what has become of the Earth and how has
she changed?
the Cosmonaut:
The view from the heavens is far greater than what has presented itself on
the surface.
This race that you are now observing is a strange kind.
They care about who and what is reflected, instead of the far felt future
ahead that will be suffered by many.
They rip the flesh of the Earth and inject it with chemicals in order to
survive and feed their vast populations,
The majority of humanity has developed a great assumption,
assuming that what was given has been created only in order for them and
only them.
We rely on the slow hum of machines and are driven by instant gratification.

I hope to someday tell you different my dear moon.
But for now, i must say
The race you have seen shall either progress or die in order for the Earth
to live as it once did before.
