Center of the wilderness
heart of the air we breathe
infringed upon by the machines
the smoke the virus
replaced by the factory
hard little workers
sweat and toil
for meager pay
only to step out onto the sidewalk
and see more concrete
more machines more sickness
absence of desolation
influx of progress
progressively killing every single one
the red the black the white.
The virus the sickness the spreading
the escalation
a blanket of black
upon a globe of green and blue
picking every stick and drinking every drop
to suck and burn the world
to a decaying gray
what will our children say?
