The Earth

The land quakes in fear
Shivering beyond control
It feels the end of years
And how its bones now feel old

Days grow ever longer
As the sun skips to its youth
Growing ever shorter
The delay of impending doom

The skies twirl confusion
Clouds spun overturned
Raindrops not waiting their turn
Still man does not learn

The signs have shown
Written in woes
Their covers are blown
Yet concern they do not show

Chaos in its roots
Has begun to fester
With faces covered in soot
They burn on their desires

Upon sun baked land
Icy whiteness was glittered
Do you not understand
Have you not pondered

The world now trembles
Buying its time
Buried in battles
And endless crime

Candles of wisdom
Snuffed out one at a time
Fading to chrome
Arts no longer enshrined

All's lost
In that dying breed
Their lives their cost
When time ends their deed

The land in fear does quake
But why don't they?
