// knife-to-skin //

a very long time ago, Allah swt decreed to create man.

He made man to be the best of all his creations. He breathed into man emotions, touched into man intelligence and moulded in perfection.

Allah told earth that He would place man on her. she knew man would bring about destruction, violence, hurt- so she refused. But Allah told earth that He knows better than she would ever do. thus, adam and hawa were sent down to earth. soon enough, almost every inch of her was infested with man.

Earth was right. she allowed man to dwell on her and live off her literally but they robbed her off her beauty. they suffocated her and left her dry. she would have easily killed them all but Allah said no. Earth learnt to carry on with the pain accepting the fact that man would always take without return.

but one day, she will decide to orbit the other direction.

she shall regurgitate whatever man had tried to violate within her.

one day, she shall fall from the strings of Allah and die together with all the things living on her.

earth is dying. she really is.
