Man's Forsaken Earth

"Man's Forsaken Earth" ~~~from the "Dig My Own Grave Series"~~ ["Dig My Own Grave" is a series of writings in reflection of mental preparation... ~~~Each scoop of dirt rids the mess where I'm to be finally laid to rest~~~] ................................{Cry For My Sister} It's written that the earth was created and given to man to till._ And once man learned right from wrong has been responsible for man's own will. Man has changed the plan laid down for him regarding the way to live._ And now man fight and take more than he offers, shares or gives. Everything man has ever needed was placed at arms length._ And now man must toil the land but only receive a tenth. All creatures great and small once roam the earth in solemn peace._ And now blood must flow and homes destroyed before the fighting cease. Fresh air, green grass, flowing streams, valleys and hills..._ are now used in pursuit to satisfy man's greed, wants and thrills. This beautiful earth was formed with love and left in man's good hands._ And now it's death, destruction, war, and famine far throughout the lands. Many have tried to compensate for all the damages done._ But to man's own folly; has given those sins to his son. If you look around the earth today you'll see it's not the same._ So don't strut with your heads held high while making God the blame. Nothing is as it once was for what Man's undertaken._ And now this earth's a dismal place and truly man forsaken.
