"After The War"
“After The War”
once there was a time before
the wondering of man
a time before the dinosaurs
when oceans ruled the land
it was an age of history
though no one called it so
formations of a mystery
begun so long ago
if that time was ever here
it will never come again
when humanity appeared
it solidified the end
of creatures meek and creatures big
of creatures like ourselves
every tree and everything
through arguments of wealth
when we humans disappear
there will be no one to care
our molecules join stratosphere
atomically to be shared
once there was a time before
the insanity of men
til our way of making war
brought eons to an end.
