I see sand and hills Mountains and sky What is below? And below that? How many years Decades and centuries Thousands and millions Time immeasurable Archeologists scrap The surface gives way There is no time To arrive at the bottom We will be gone Generations will pass What will we know? Just what we know Man exists Builds Engages in war Destroys Rebuilds Suffers the seasons Reaches for power Dies Buried with the indispensables Is replaced The cycle repeats Hopelessness Civilizations lie below The elements rule The sun, wind, and sand Water The lack of water Man’s intellectual weakness Failure to act Refusal to listen Or acquiesce Belief in consensus Ignorance of fact Nature will rule Under God Forever Stanski January 29, 2020
