That which has taken eons of time, <br /> Man destroys with impunity, the earth in decline. <br /> Deserts are forming under the seas, <br /> Formerly teeming with life on flourishing coral reefs. <br /> Some species of wildlife that lived with man on this earth <br /> Has ceased to exist, in mans hasty quest. <br /> Fish life in decline among many species <br /> May deny us life when all else is depleted. <br /> Rain forests disappearing all over the earth, <br /> As deserts spread and drought brings us thirst. <br /> Evolution and time is not on our side, <br /> For that which we destroy took eons of time.<br /><br />Anthony Torres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eons-of-time/
