Reclaimed
It is yours only temporarily

Branches breach the window frames of the factory
Those structures that seemed so permanent reduced to rubble permanently
I don’t fear for the fate of the earth, it’s ourselves we’ll erase
And return the world to it’s natural state
Quarries become lakes, concrete disintegrates and histories erase
Global warming, nuclear holocaust will all be but a blip on the cosmic fate
Earth will always reclaim and recuperate
The ivy that works it’s way through your brickwork, or the bird’s nest in your roof
They are reminding you that it is yours only temporarily
And no matter how highly we regard intellect or our position in the chain
We will all one day be reclaimed
