Man's Quest For a Greater Future

Man's Quest For A Greater Future Sunken man, a mystery in the making earth gives and gives to we so selfishly taking Blue sky, giving color to a tired, hectic life time to sit to rest , to break from daily strife Shattered homes, they decay as we flee racing into a future we imagine , so rarely ever see Earth eats up , the mess we so often make shouldn't man rest, rest from all the greed and take Parched and dry ground, foundation we need as we cut and stab we see not all the terrible bleed Mother earth a bounty, yes, tis Heaven sent we must stop, enjoy before all earthly beauty is spent A rest, a hope, before onward we often so foolishly race We that take too much and rarely ever bother to replace!
