Mankind seeks power by destroying life
through the mists of greed is the way it goes
yet future generations carry on.
Bursting through the debris nature clings on
as earth resonates with vibrant, fresh life
for destruction has failed and on life goes.
Earth seeks to renew, through remains it goes
humanity has faith to weather on
through the grief and sorrow there is in life.
Throughout history we see, life goes on.

This covers power, destruction and nature clings to what we have left destroyed to reclaim. Lovely Tritina the form fits the dialog. Clarity and focus that life goes on replaces that we do not have be present to embrace the land we leave mans inventions without anyone to rebuild it.
