MAN'S FORSAKEN EARTH

~~~from the "Dig My Own Grave Series"~~
["Dig My Own Grave" is a series of writings in a reflection of mental preparation...
~~~Each scoop of dirt rids the mess where I'm to be finally laid to rest~~~]

It's written that the earth was created and given to man to till._
And once man learned right from wrong
has been responsible for man's own will.

Man has changed the plan laid down for him
regarding the way to live._
And now man fight and take more than he offers
shares or gives.

Everything man has ever needed
was placed at man's arm length._
And now man must toil the land
but only receive a tenth.
















All creatures great and small
once roam the earth in solemn peace._
And now blood must flow
and homes destroyed before the fighting cease

Fresh air, green grass, flowing streams, valleys and hills..._
are now used in pursuit to satisfy man's greed,
wants, and thrills.

This beautiful earth was formed with love
and left in man's good hands._
And now it's death, destruction,
war, and famine far throughout the lands.

Many have tried to compensate
for all the damages done._
But to man's own folly
has now given those sins
to his son.

If you look around the earth today
you'll see it's not the same._
So don't strut with your heads held high
while making God the blame.

Nothing is as it once was
for what Man's undertaken._
And now this earth's a dismal place
and truly man-forsaken.
