![]() History's MessageA Poem by Dusty![]() One thing to remember about earth, we are not on a rent-to-own lease. Our payments are getting later and later, and eventually, unless we manage the costs better, we will be evicted.![]() Nothing is immortal Names will soon fade into the dust Metal structures will drown in rust Stone monuments will be blown into sand Even mountains do not eternally stand Changeling children will forget our faces In time earth will forget all races The material beings we pride our lives on Will be swallowed into the ground before long The sky will be freed of its polluted clouds Bubbling brooks free of their supressing dams The trees growing free of the threat of human hands Not far after we are gone The earth will reclaim its forgotten throne Enclosing our tomb to filter out the old The oceans will wash our prints from the sand And the wind will blow away anything made by our hand This is the story that History teaches For if it is trying to tell us anything at all Nothing ever eternally stands above a fall © 2009 DustyAuthor's Note
