Rise and Fall

Oceans rise as mountains fall Cities crumble in the wake of it all Flowers once bloomed They showed their brilliant colors Now lay dormant Beneath our mother's covers ~ The fires burn wild Out on the desert floor Out past the forest Where the trees are no more ~ The air has become dense It is not easy to bare We're all being suffocated By the chemicals they share ~ We all have become blind Obviously to the facts That this life we created Is not the right path ~ The paper we value holds no value at all It's just a way to control us So they do not fall ~ We are no different Than our ancestors were before Our civilization will crumble It will pave way for much more ~ The outsiders are coming Their coming once more Their coming to start fresh What they started before ~ To reset the clocks back Back to day one When life was as pure As the rising sun ~ They'll come for our children They'll come for us all There's no place to hide No place at all ~ Cover your windows Barricade your doors Load that single shot shotgun Before they get to your door ~ Our weapons are useless This we will find Our minds are our weakness And will be our decline ~ The devil has come That's what we'll say But God allows it Before our mother's decay R.K.H 7/15/2021
