Billions of Years

5/1/15


Rains the color of vermillion tears
Across trillions of spheres
Dating back billions of years

And now there are that many civilians here
Even though millions disappeared

People looked at the land strange
Until the harshest sands came
And changed
Almost anything man made

During a different age
The plague
Rose with rage
Then put many in the grave
Underneath terrain with barely any shade

They say anything is possible
Yet still we face so many obstacles
That have yet to be solvable
In a place so phenomenal
