This is Earth

Injuries have destroyed much. Strong legs that strode now crawl. Responsible shoulders slump. The head is a mess. Eyes scratched. Ear drums broken. Fingers twitch - an unconscious response to malfunctions from the core to the extremities. Skin blotches, scabs and peels. Only the mouth works, blathering silliness non-stop. The burdened heart wonders, "So much is lost. Should I quit too?"
