The Ancient Plateau - Act 2
In the morning we arise
To a sky of perfect blue
Surrounded by leafy greens
And Birds in plumage hues
We head deep into the lush
Strange sounds resonate
If such beasts exist
I wonder what awaits
The rays of the sun beat down
As our strength saps by the hour
Intermittent squalls
Momentarily repairs our power
We come to a leafy clearing
And a sight beholds our eyes
A herd of massive Sauropods
Reach into the sky
To see such awesome beasts
As they amble, as if in slow motion
But way of to our left
Roaring, angered commotion
A Sauropod injured calf
Seen flagging from the group
A Tyrannosaurus stands over
In carnivorous stoop
Are we looking on in awe
At this sight from long ago
But we see this in our world
As the African plains show
The Scientists and Paleontologists
Are revelling in this time
To view these beasts of long ago
On this plateau in their prime
The evening slowly draws in
Around the campfire discussions are said
To preserve this ancient era
We all agreed, as read
We head back to the clifftops
To work our way back down
Through the lush rich greens
Immaculate are natures gowns
All through the descent
There's talk of what we seen
We read about it when we were younger
And even seen it in our dreams
The world above where we have come from
Has to remain in our past
Its been preserved for a reason
And its our duty, to make our silence last
