She was the muse that wrote Shakespeare The ink for the hard end quill pen The pink brushes and paintings She filled in The scrolls The songs we longed for She was every inch of our existences The persistence of evolution The resistance to the poison and pollution In every breath we stole And seconds we sustained our vain self She was there Embedded in the genetic And will be till the last tree Burns down Till the last cell withers away Till the last protein pattern is lost Incinerating in a nova holocaust
