Sentiments to sediment
The time it moves in increments
No way to fully comprehend
The way that it is spent
Lifetimes measured in a year
Before you know, it disappears
Marked with laughter and with tears
And filled with unawares
Once here, then gone, Life carries on
Memories forever and anon
Everything that was, undone
Until rebirth has again begun
From dinosaurs to distant shores
Animals that crawled and roared
Procured until they are no more
And what was it all for
A dollar or ill gotten fame
A title and a well known name
Leaving the planet torn and maimed
So, tell me, what was gained
Some preserved bones and piles of dust
Tarnished metals turned to rust
The loss of earth and innocence
In the guise of wanderlust
