Nature

Nature, once beautiful
Full of life, action, adventure
Now gone, replaced by smoke and metal
Animals that bounded happily through the trees
Now wonder aimlessly, searching for a place to be home again
But who is to blame for this destruction of the ecosystems?
Who will take the blame for the countless lives lost?
No one
We are blind, searching for the future and beyond
But all in time
We
All
Will
Fall
Back
To Earth
