All That Ever Was

silken threads bind the tree of life, skeins of hope tying all deep into the soul of the earth but, the dirt trembles and shakes big minds wander the lost halls of learning they go where others dare not tread, risking all with each step tremendous machines chew through the skin of the planet ripping and shredding the life out of Gaia, she is dying a day at a time Great leaders in denial lead their people towards a precipice, all the time their eyes are closed hoping like fools their delusions aren't their downfall like lemmings a blinded society technologically numbed are blinkered, the mountains begin to tumble as the rivers ease their flow the grass browns as the days burn hot killing the elderly sickening the child, the air burns throats and lungs as industry churns out poison waters run with blood buildings fall into the chasm all the while the answer lies within a seed of hope is carried in the atoms that hold us all together, wind the silken thread around this pearl saving all that ever was
