Ancient Prayer

I place my message in a bottle Will you even be able to read these words? This planet we destroyed is left for your use try to rebuild it it was once a beautiful place A gift we did not deserve We used to love her so and then we neglected her calls she warned us of our impending doom still we thought we had time when she struck us we did not understand why did we not heed her groans? Now we are but a memory a sad footnote in time Only you are left to read these pathetic words it is best that we are completly forgotten This shell that remains is our legacy what will you do? Is there anything left to rebuild? I offer my ancient prayer this is all I have left to give. Message in a Bottle Poetry Contest. I owe you a proper entry, thanks for letting me know about my error.
