Trying
9/26/16
Before dying
Keep on smiling
And trying
Regardless of when the stars or planets are aligning
And if there ever is a silver lining
In this day and age, little to nothing shall be surprising
Farmers fertilizing
Growing crops that look appetizing
Some of which are used in fine dining
Scientists sterilizing
As well as neutralizing
While analysing
And theorizing
Before and after atomizing
Animals and vehicles in the air flying
Above civilizations thriving
And others struggling to continue surviving
The sun diving and rising
Thunder roaring and lightning
Striking
Providing
A brief form of lighting
On others far too many are spying
And fantasizing
Being untruthful and still lying
Is the proof of our origin still possible of finding?
Out there hiding?
In some kind of writing?
Or gone for good due to conflicts intensifying
And war arriving?
The sun or moon rising
As well as shining
Above locations, great for mining
If you keep eyeing
Your surroundings even on roads that are winding
What happens next just may be disappointing or exciting
