Poem inspired by this painting :

 "Eclipse on overconsumption"

A world where everything is bought and then everything is thrown away as quickly. The Earth is crumbling because of human actions. She rebels but she needs help.

A being from elsewhere comes to eclipse this world.

Who is it? Where does it come from? Abysses or heavens? Is it natural?

Was it already contemplating the destruction of our world or does it want to change the behavior of humans towards the Earth?

Is it a destructive creature or instead a saving one?
