Where Have We All Gone

Photobucket

Climbing the hill I reach the top...the view is so desolate.

I sit here contemplating the plight we all ignored to the end.

The demise occurred when we took our surroundings for granted.

Then i wonder..."Where have we all gone?"

I look around the empty skies and wonder..."where are the birds?"

The ones who sang to me once or captured my imagination.

The aerial antics of courtship a mating pair displayed to impress.

Then i wonder..."Where have we all gone?"

I view my surroundings...all is empty now...no creatures around.

Nothing to stimulate imaginations, to spark my interest anymore.

All is bare...empty...lonely...no beauty to be seen...I am so alone.

Then i wonder..."Where have we all gone?"

There is nothing left but bare rocks and sandy soil...so desolate.

Nothing to call home...nothing to share my world with...all is gone.

I am the last of everything...there is no more...there never will be.

Then i wonder..."Where have we all gone?"

As the sun beats down on me, i realize how thirsty i am...there is no water.

No shelter from the sun or elements around...everything is decayed now.

I will soon be extinct...as the rest...species...plants...animals...even the cities...gone.

then i wonder..."Where have we all gone?"
