What are the following poems saying about the state of the world: "Lament" and "Flower Fed Buffaloes"?

Both poems talk about the destruction to the
world.

In the poem "Flower fed Buffaloes," because of
industrialism, the railroads took way the land that belonged to the buffalo and the
Pawnees and the Blackfeet.

Sadly enough, people on the
trains chose to shoot the buffalo. The railroads took over the buffalo's range. Thirty
thousand buffalo have turned into three hundred because of the advancement of
civilization. The railroad has taken over the land.

In the
poem "Lament," the natural part of the land is destroyed because of war. War has taken
its toll on the turtles, the dolphins, the sea birds,
etc.

A soldier is on fire. The earth is burnt. The ocean is
scalded. The "vengeance and ashes of language" is the way the poet describes the horrors
of war.

Two major destructions of the natural world are the
railroad and war. So much for civilization.
