YET IT REMAINS

Chunks of ice gave way to lively rivers -
flooding, giving birth to green plains.
Humans defiled those eternal life givers
and yet the story remains ...

The big, slyly overpowers the weak
only for their own material gains.
Through millennium revolts of the meek
and yet the story remains ...

We took away what our earth gave
while pretending not to see those stains.
Humans could not thus humanity save
and yet the story remains ...

Empires crumbled, which once was raised
to rule and hold the poor in reins.
The proud kings from memory, just erased
and yet the story remains ...

Nature will take back what was stolen -
it will one day break away the chains.
Men will be no more - those fallen
and yet the earth remains ...
