A Kingdom Torn Apart
When formed the Earth and fostered life
I blossomed into being and watched
With wonder a youthful world
Blooming with life in green and blue
I made my way through snowy caps
Passed by pastures green galore
Then reached my glorious kingdom
But something was amiss –
My ears popped, such was the noise
Ere I saw subjects lifeless
Piles of toxin seeped in
I choked and gasped for breath
The dagger of loss pierced my heart
Silent in grief, lying in the reef
I stumbled and gazed yonder
To where my glorious kingdom once lay
Clouded the ruins heavy mist grey
