Drained
A river, without inlet, giving
in time is depleted, and is dead.
Unable to keep or sustain life.
A land, defiled, and drained
of all its natural resources
is in time, a vast global desert.
And as it dies, all upon it
will wither, and cease existance
one species at a time.
Our turn will come.
And human life thriving here
will become extinct.
And as humanity wanes,
death enveloping self awareness
the TREE OF LIFE will fade.
Self knowledge drying
within the taproot
of the universal soul.
The last blink,
of an eye closing
in infinite finality.
1. Prompt -ell me why the tree looks thirsty and dead
