and motorcars choaked the air
after airplanes began to fly
and the city lights would glare
Long after noise was lost
and jungles burned to ash
after everything had cost
and mans last greatest clash
Their fingerprints still touch the earth
but not their industry
not their bombs or guns without worth
or their oil in the sea
Long after the final explosions
and broken hearted pleas
after the final diplomat
signed his last decrees
The evergreen and oak sometimes whisper
to eachother their relief
that no man will ever grip her
and remove her from her feet
Their mention is not in passing
never in their minds
their touch was everlasting
yet long forgotton to the pines
Long after concrete graveyards split the sky
and motorcars choaked the air
after airplanes began to fly
after the city lights would glare
they’ll never know we were there [comments] => 2 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 74 [informant] => regent [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => surreal )

Long after concrete graveyards split the sky, great imagery throughout the whole of this message to the mindlessness of man and his neglect of the earth......the evergreen and oaks sometimes whisper to each other their relief and I can imagine it will be a relief, strong write and much enjoyed
