Particles of Time
(Dust)
Stillness is its companion, a hush will get it by
lurking in every dimension waiting for one to die,
this planet the last bastion, no hope to defend
with solar days in turmoil it will have its revenge.
Life’s creation evolved from it, for it is nature’s way
reposed in composure it waits for that one special day,
to lie in state it seeks comfort, in peace eternal rest
but not until earth’s destruction will it be at its best.
Yet man encouraged to conquer, awesome power his goal
from ‘Nostradamus’ predictions written upon his soul
mission statement, hidden agenda for the warring few
confirmation MAN'S GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO.
So man destroys his environment, extinction bound
it waits for one’s quality time where life cannot be found.
ashes to ashes dust to dust, all matter one day meet
out of this a new beginning to the Gods a new treat!
