I descended down the tired hill My eyes glancing At the distant stretches of earth Dancing beyond the horizon. It woes Flashed upon my sight Drawing my mind to a grand halt. Everything looked sad. The trees panned in solitude Swirling slowly in mild destitute. The river's mighty roar Was reduced to mere whispers As the waters rolled downstream. The naked earth Laid bare, oozing blood As patches of man's bruising Left a written page on it For all to read.
