included is the mile
least wrecked by the erodist
man and his aging slave nature
how she has started to buck her overbearing
riders
timed now, no more is the oh so beautiful
beast
for now man has been thrown into the puddles
of sludge that his numerous for fathers carelessly
left in their wake
the age of industry was truly the foulest blow
the world today though wounded
still, she stands with her head held high
the taken for granted gets her own back
and man has slowly likely much too much so
started to unwillingly bow at her superior
strength
and humbly ask for her elusive forgiveness
leaving us but with one final yet crucial
question
will she in turn forgive him of his cruelty
and neglect
where her needs were once concerned
I'd say its doubtful
but only the voice of time can answer that one
for you, 'Dearest Future'..................
