Hatchling from Hatchling by Mythopoeic Mind

Think of how the tide has been turning
How the winds have changed

Now the mighty forests are burning
So estranged

What sweet Earth, did you do to deserve this?
Even the wise cannot say
All I know, we are crossing a threshold

With the ultimate price to pay ..... dear

Life was hard, there’s no point in denying
Your gifts with praise we received

One day sweet; the next terrifying

In Gods we believed

Gaining knowledge to pave our road in life
Still we lost in the end

As we struggled to tame Nature’s forces
We gave up being Nature’s friend ..... dear

Money and steam
Powers the dream
Of the perfect world

Top of the chain
How mundane
Human reign unfurled

You have tried to warn us

Of the luring edge

Man thinks he is soaring

Though it’s nowhere near time to fledge

Exploit and destroy
Don’t be coy

If it pays the bills

Vulnerable Earth
No rebirth

Still we offer pills

You have tried to warn us

Of the luring edge

Man thinks he is soaring

Though it’s nowhere near time to fledge

So we are falling

And there’s no saving us ......
