Infringement

Stripped bare the earth would be a black void space Mankind’s existence gone without a trace No grass to cover the hollow ground No dirt to hide the rocks below No trees to give the wind sound No water to shelter lost cities and treasures No stories to tell or books to write No pains and no pleasures No one to say what is wrong or right No there would be nothing to share If the earth were stripped bare But if the earth was a black void space There would be no man to strip it bare In the first place
