Once Upon the Earth

There once was a land so fiercely beautiful and diverse I recall exquisite creatures and plants that would seem to burst into the most peculiarly pretty shapes With colours as bright and spectatuclar as flames And all that this land embraced when seen from its glorious sky what a masterpeice did it create Even iron lungs would become breathless it was a view worthy of only the greatest gods gaze I would give up the gift of sight to see this land once more but you see it suffered a terrible plight its natives gave suffering instead of support as they broke, buried and burnt it alive I watched its land turn grey and coarse All of the earths glory lost to greed I have wondered so deeply within how do you ignore whats under your feet all that you see and all that you eat to express my disgust I cant even begin All I Can say is, destroying nature is the most potent of sins
