Somewhere on ice lies a world gone unseen
A phantom in somebody's terrible dream
Frozen in waiting and sleeping in place
Waiting for our earth to slowly unlace
It takes the place of what we have now
Breathes in the newness of a fresh plan
But there's something missing from the original layout-
Man
Who needs a world swathed in disease
Bombs falling like rain
Who needs a world full of hate
Full of pain
Flowers and animals lived together for eons
Never once planning war
Never once having genocide
Knock on their door
Never once knowing plagues fueled by man
Never once seeing rape
Never once hearing the screams
Try to escape
Man has brought chaos
To a place with nothing to give
Where death only happened
So others could live
Not out of vengeance
Out of fear or from hate
But for the progression of life
On god's earthly plate

Oh, lonely tree upon the hill
What deeds must thou have done
To reap such lonely outpost?
Bad karma or good,
Stalwart
by Ryan Cruz
There are many dying sounds,
still heard today,
and what those screams are,
the world in dismay.
Scientist grow more knowledge,
