Seed of the end
By Ryan P

The barren land run down by machines
Roots ripped out by heartless humans
Rain comes trickling down
In hope that a new life can be found
Between the cracks of the fields
A seedling sprouts up with glee
The next generation of our despair
Will soon lie beneath the sky
No houses, no buildings, no life
The only thing left is emptiness
Long has this been the case
But when the seedling turned into a tree
Through the dark nights and dark days
Hope has sprouted before our eyes
Only to seek planting devastation
The worthless value now shines its brightest
But greed and hunger do not feed
The key to life thrown in the sewers
Along with all our waste and humanity
The last leaf flies
