Gaia's Tale

The world outside is full of unknown faces,
With blank expressions and plastic smiles.
And my heart inside is void of emotion;
It's drained of life I can feel it fade.
6 billion footsteps march upon my mind.
Trampling me down, and eroding me away.
My children keep defying - their world which I made.
Leaving me here dying - so hopelessly betrayed,
Oh they're so so numb, they cannot see -
That this fate they fear, has happened already.
It's far too late, and they will not change:
They'll just run away, and leave me in pain.
What they loved they'l then leave, and leave to decay:
They'll just throw it away, and never come back.
They'll confide and consume, convert their womb to a tomb,
Because they destroy and destruct whatever they touch.
And they'll vacate in a violet sunshine,
Who's parting will melt our world.
Once soulmates will be reduced to ashes,
Which the wind will just drift away -
Leaving us to decay in the soul-less remnants of their rage.
Please don't fade away Into the dawns of yesterday,
Just live here and stay,
And appreciate this world which I made.
