Lying dormant underground a thief of life is waiting
To steal the breath from those unaware Unknown to man until this time when care has not been taken To save our souls from what is lying there Now who is to say what can be done to stop the devastation That spreads like fire among us one and all As we discover that which we have done to live Is now the very thing that heralds our own ending call To live the lives that bring our ease we care not what we take As we remove every resource from the ground Then stand in shame when all goes wrong When the sun goes down We have burned a path among the trees and vines that protect us Stolen the very air from our skies And now we stand among the ruins of our own creation Watching the Earth as we know it, say goodbye © 2011 Neva Flores Smith - ChangefulstormAuthor's Note
