MANKIND

If mankind wasn't here.
The cliff edge would fall,
Come crashing down.
Changing to a gentle slope,
Over many a pleasant year.

The seasons would change,
Just the same.
At this time of year,
If mankind wasn't here.

wouldn't be a need for roads,
No cutting down of tree's.
Nor trains, cars or work to go.
A world in perfect harmony,
Even in the rivers and the seas.
There would be plenty of clean
air to breath,

Not a place that mankind would
destroy and break.
Fast forward to today,
Man has realised his mistake
Tries to correct if he could

Decides to go out and colonies the star's,
First a dead planet known as Mars.
A place which used to be earth like,
Now the rover's that they have sent.
Are looking for life, Long extinct.

What if on this desolate world they find,
Not really what they were looking for.
A skeleton left behind, That belonged
not to an alien race but one of our kind.
