If this life is all it seems;
nectar sweet, gold that gleams,
why does all good fade away?
Gold dulls as time goes by,
nectar basins swiftly dry,
leaving cracked, empty holes.
People age, shrivel with years,
lovers re’lize their fears.
The end, for them, comes too soon.
Moon’s waxing and waning
marks lives by Nature’s reining;
Wondrous spells yet unlived.
Time elapsing, too much haste.
Hearty cliff, wind defaced;
Solid stone erodes away.
Relics crumbling behind
Boggling all that is mankind,
causing mass confusion.
The current world soon is doomed,
Peace and care deep entombed
within soulless human shells.
War ‘neath the branched olive,
angry missiles flare above
to raze all good on Earth.
