In memory of Friends lost

The leaves are still

The trees don’t sway

The world waits

In hushed eerie calm

The Sun sinks slowly

Every Breath is pleasure

Who knows when it ends

Men in arrogant hubris

Owned the world

Ravaging the land

Nature with patience

She cajoled, she warned

Humanity was lost

The scourge unleashed

In droves we died

Like flies we dropped

Rich men, poor men

Great men,little men

The young, the old

Friends gone without a word

Leaving behind shocked...
