I Hear a Distant Rumble

I hear a distant rumble There is a storm coming, I hear a distant rumble As the ground beneath my feet shakes, I hear a distant rumble As the lightening and the rain comes, I hear a distant rumble As the machines run cutting down the trees in the jungle I hear a distant rumble As the earth shakes, I hear a distant rumble There is a massive earthquake, I hear a distant rumble As the alarms wail, I hear a distant rumble As the tsunami roar towards the land after earthquakes hit at sea I hear a distant rumble As nature fights back, I hear a distant rumble As the clouds turn black, I hear a distant rumble As as the missiles are launched, I hear a distant rumble As man goes to war once more I hear a distant rumble As the nuclear warheads drop, I hear a distant rumble And then everything stops and man is gone, Taking every other species with it. But the Earth survives and nature heals, After long nuclear winters And after many years, Nature once more starts to thrive And once more it springs forth life, No more to be heard the distant rumbles, Just the quietness of solitude And the beauty of nature’s bliss. No man survived but the environment did And it soon covers over everything, It’s like man never was here As if it never existed But nature replenished for it is persistent, As the light now shines so bright, And once again this Earth is a beautiful sight, It found a way to heal, Where as man only found a way to kill and become extinct.
