A patched flannel shirt, Tattered jeans covered in dirt, Baking for hours, I stand in the sun Just remains of a war without a gun, Purpose, a fleeting memory, As I continue to lose my accessories, I used to watch and protect the seeds, Now I stand erect to watch the tumbleweeds, What was once prosperous farmland Is now barren, abandoned by man All because they couldn¡¯t find a solution To their government lead problem, of pollution You can never win a war against mother nature, Even if you have the weaponry in your favor, For if you continue to litter what you call home, She will ensure your fall is like Rome¡¯s.
