The world has become A desert without end. Where there were once Magnificent buildings of Marble white stone, Reflecting glass windows-- There is but rubble. |
The oceans themselves Now devoid of all life Were once teeming With thousands of different Marine species Swimming about in them-- Now deadly water. |
The rain forests of Latin America, Once summer green With the morning mists floating Above the ground Like clouds on a mountain-- All is now desert. |
The wintry icecaps Have completely melted. The high mountains Have been cut down to low hills By the constant Seven miles-a-minute Hurricane-like winds. |
Where there were deserts Back in the distant past, There are great glass Craters, deadly to the touch In which unseen Radiation persists, Lurking there for years. |
But what really makes This world seem so empty Is the lack of The animals and people Whose lively noise Had kept this world alive. Every creature--gone. |
How did this world go From so beautiful to A place so damned? The answer can be found in The hatred and Distrust that one race had For another one. |
