The AnswerA Poem by lunawolfIt asked: Why has this happened? But it already knew the answerThe cold grey sky looked down on the world It was a cold barren world No creature seemed to be alive Why has it come to this? The sky asked But it already knew the answer
The great oceans once full of life Are empty and black with decay The surface didn't even move It asked: Why has this happened? But it knew the answer
The once great land mass Once filled to the brim with life Is rotten No tree stood, only short stumps and dead wood No blade of grass moved in the wind for there was none No heart was beating as there was nothing left The land wondered why things ended so But it knew the answer
The greed had become too much Power corrupted all leaders No one was immune All who fought were slayed All who opposed were slayed All who thought were slayed
As a human once said: Only when the last tree has died And the last river been poisoned And the last fish been caught Will we realise We cannot eat money © 2013 lunawolfAuthor's Note
