Prosperous AbandonmentA Poem by Om Nom Ninja SheepThere was once a land so great and prosperous, That all who crossed it saw a perfect future. The buildings were constructed of flawless embellishments and measurement. The clear, glittering water Supported the lush fertility of the full, abundant crops and flora. Those then fed the healthy, happy, and clean people and fauna. Life was perfect. This ended abruptly, As an overpowering depression Defeated the Joy. The land is now abandoned and empty. Flora has overgrown the crumbling ruins of the structures. As merely a few streaks of light peek through the intertwined branches, The land is entirely hallow with despair. Yet, one young lass never left. A lass whom has never been seen. A lass whom has never let go. She shakingly grasps the shards. The shards of her memories, And cradles them to her heart. She has sealed her lips, As she bears no emotion. She has sealed her heart and her mind For eternity. As she wanders the land, Never knowing of anything more.
