Funeral for A Dying World
(or Sterile Earth) 29 June 2017
What lies buried here
Where workers used to toil?
It’s obvious, perfectly clear,
There’s something in the soil.
Where workers used to toil,
The ground’s contaminated.
There’s something in the soil--
What’s been eliminated?
The ground’s contaminated,
It’s minerals all depleted.
What’s been eliminated?
Life has since retreated!
It’s minerals all depleted,
It’s obvious, perfectly clear,
Life has since retreated.
What lies! Buried here.
