Mother earth
There wasn't many places left,The soil was seeded with
Radioactive waste, From rain,
That was floating in the air.
Yet here was a green patch,
That used to cover mother earth.
Now all the land was bare,
Almost void of life. Dead but,
Their was a piece of greenery left,
If only mankind had learnt to share.
The giant redwoods with the mighty oaks,
Were soaking up rain from the blackest sky's.
If only Adam and eve didn't take a bite, From
the poisoned fruit from the apple trees.
Neatherless it would take millions of years,
Before this mother planet would recover.
To become the Eden it once was,
As the willow trees wept at Mankind's loss.
The poisoned fruit poisoned man's mind,
Allowing him to poison the very world.
He had been looking for all his life;
The one place that he had he didn't realise,
The world that he lives in was the one.
Once known by the grace of God, As paradise.
