ELEMENTAL
ELEMENTAL
It was the start, ancient texts said
Fire was the lava, in rivers of red
And the planet’s growth was fed
When cooled, life raised its head
Then from the water to the land
Mammals arrived as was planned
But little was there to lend a hand
Some evolutionists do understand
Standing tall and breathing the air
Mankind’s destiny was finally there
Intelligence grew, becoming aware
Yet between tribes, contact was rare
Earth became stable, but only just
Yet a polished steel sword will rust
Each life has an ending, as it must
Hence earth to earth, dust to dust
