Rooftops
By: daxx_61
Gazing out acroos the rooftops,
Across a sky beneath the clouds,
Cars racing down paths of concrete,
Down pavements swarm the surging crowds
Of people going about their business
Liveing lives below darkness' shrouds
This panoramic view before me
The myst'rys of life's secret's holds,
The riches, precious gems and silver,
Jewels, works of art and gold.
For this beaut'ful world we live on
Is for dreams and prom'ses sold.
The people feed live parasites
On Gaia's bounty, rich and great.
Life's hunger, greed and selfishness
not all the universe can sate -
And so consigned this planet is
A lifeless husk to be it's fate.
