Cycle of Life

Standing strong, round and tall
Unmoving, through the ages.
Like an actor in a theatre hall,
Persisting through different stages.
As the sun shone bright and hot wind blew,
With the heat of a thousand lumens.
Animals came, small apes grew,
And called themselves humans.
Starting with my kind for use,
Slowly but surely did they evolve.
A thousand minds, stubbornly obtuse,
Mysteries of the cosmos did they solve.
Alas, with knowledge came power and greed,
Supreme authority did they crave.
Nature’s calls they did not heed,
Now this planet will be their grave.
There remains nowhere to take cover,
For all that remains assured is destruction.
And thus renews the cycle over-and-over,
Let’s start with the introduction.
