Where Did We Go?

The cities are all unraveling, Dirty air floats in our lungs, Broken glass, Shattered signs. Only hollow buildings, Without any lives. Standing on fallow ground, Deer bounding all around. They do a dip in the muddy park pool, A little mud keeps the flies away. Perhaps we will do that one day, And look to see what edible plants are left alive. Possibly allow the earth to thrive. We have forgotten our early lessons. Now it's time to begin again. To have a conversation with all that surrounds, Listening carefully to each and every sound. Maybe mother nature will rebound, Allow for just a few people to be around.
