From A Distance

From far away this little rock,
Must seem like such a sight,
Hanging here among the stars,
A victim of our plight.

Giving life, providing comfort,
Our mother is this earth,
We've suckled her straight into death,
To thank her for our birth.

Filled with greed there is no limit,
We do not strive to pass,
Every heart is filled with want,
Each soul can break like glass.

Shattered pieces on the ground,
Sparkle from afar,
You don't think, unless you know,
Exactly who they are.

Moving on, just getting by,
All that some can do,
Lost inside a dreary world,
That distance misconstrues.

A tiny rock, a cozy sun,
Floating, lost in space,
Dirty secrets hidden here,
Should leave us in disgrace.
