Survival
Rolling green plains
Shady country lanes
Fresh and clean
After every new rain.
Building upon building
Will soon take its place
And then it will be
A place people don’t want to see.
Mountains so high
Towering toward the sky
Their canyons of beauty
You rarely see an eagle fly.
Someday soon
They will never be
For they will all crumble into the sea.
Desert land
Untouched by man
So hot
So dry
Kissed by flames from the sky.
Through all the windy storms
This barren land will bore
A life of it’s own
Under every stone.
Pushed to the hot dry land
Living in the deep white sand
Embracing every thing that can be known
About how creatures can live under a stone.
With that knowledge we will try to survive
Until this whole earth slowly dies.
