When we are gone And all that is left Is a planet bereft Of living souls Will it matter Who’s to blame When none remain To bear the shame Of our downfall? When we are gone And it won’t be long What will we leave behind? Our legacies Disposable things Hoarded dreams And fatal insistences That everything will be fine

When We Are Gone
Macroscopia allows a view, Verdant brilliance, a star's birth. Yet, our microscopicness ignores, The atom should not be split. 400 years of supposed "science" Has stolen the earth's richness, Michaelangelos from the sky, Is killing life as fast as Before last ice age ensued. Biophilia or necrophilia, choose! Vie's evolving song is as silent as A stone's ballad for being's loss. Yet, manifest destiny rag drags on, Turtle Island's shell won't cover, Approaching abyss on the horizon. Vitae's wail echoes crimson, As acid rain from your closed Eye falls, Earth's tears bleeding, For, all you see is grey.
