Earth’s Cemetery

Earth’s Cemetery

written by: hedgehog

 

We buried your body today
As you disintegrate slowly in your grave
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Mother earth has claimed you
Turning you to humus once again
You who were the human race, who existed
On this fertile planet we called Earth
As the world’s population expanded
With nowhere to expand into
Extra terrestrial beings will gaze down
At this barren world you once populated
And one day when life as you knew it
Lost in black night has ceased
It will all be one great silent cemetery
There will be no more homo sapiens living on this earth
And then?
The atoms from whence we came will seek out
New forms of life
With no need for houses, cars, oil, plastic or metals
These that have blighted our very existence
Seas and Continents will recover like living posters
To breathe new life into a world without humans
