Elementary


The wind that torrents the fluctual seas Is the same breeze refreshing overworked men Cooling their sweaty brow, rustling the trees Giving living motion to Ocean's end Pollen spreads plant life, humans get annoyed All life relies on the earth, wind and fire Earth begins, wind continues, fire destroys Cities will soon become our funeral pyre. Therefore we must align with this cycle Accept our inevitable demise For our nutrient-rich bodies recycle And, phoenix-like, a new species will rise Dinosaurs rose and fell, the natural way Earth gave you life, and will reclaim someday.
