When humans go extinct: How life will evolve after we're gone | Salon.com

this earth wears, broad, a garland for the hells that man has wrought its scarred facade, the tattered veil for schemes once sold and bought and should that laurel drop its leaf for each damned dream and crime so bless that age as moonlite finds man's deeds, wiped clean from time.

This is incredible Greg. Congratulations on your first placement. I am saving this to my Faves! It is so sad what we humans have done to mar this beautiful planet. Have a wonderful new year my friend. I have been away from poetry for some time. It is great being back to enjoy reading poetry and writing again. Blessings xxoo

Bard, your writing never ceases to amaze me... thought-provoking in a bleak, 'Eve of Destruction' sort of way. Thanks for your ever inspiring presence here at the Soup. Warm regards, my friend ~ John

the most beautiful description of the "end of the world" I have ever read. Paints an amazing and frightening picture Gregory.
