The End

The light of dawn has come,
there high upon the hill side,
the one’s of discontent,
they look at us in discussed,
at what we have become, 
the greed,
the unending lies,
what shame we have brought to them,    
why have we done this,
o the sorrow they feel for us,
once we were strong in mind and will,
but now we have become weak to what we crave,
to what we believe we need,
there upon the hill side,
as they cry at the beauty we have destroyed, 
the life we've taken,
the lands and oceans we have killed,
all for our own self centered belief’s,
we will get no pity, 
we have made our path,
and asked death to walk with us,
for those  that have nothing must suffer,
the weight of the those with everything,
we have learned nothing,
they are leaving us to our fate,
they are gone,
the end.
