What Have We Become

The world, Was Vast and Prosperous, Now minuscule, Like butter on bread the universe spreads, But the earth withers, Before the jovial sea song to the wind, Now whispers to herself, Rain embellished the earth with Laevigata roses, Now stone asphyxiates the bountiful grass, The quiet moon drifts from us in silence, For the pain is to insufferable, Who could watch the earth die? Forced from the galaxy, Our odor lingers through space, Afraid to be tainted, We are alone, Who can save us? Blinded by our doom we continue, But I weep. For I see it all And I cannot stop it, My voice speaks but sound of pride deludes my voice, Now Afraid the earths cries but no one hears her weep and her despairs stays imprinted on my soul How can I save the world? I hear no Solution, So I stay and wait the conclusion to come
