Dark Vision

The dark day arrived,

That awakened us fast,

Making us realise

Our past, our sin,

Our deadly mistakes,

Our greed!

The morning gazed brightly,

As we drove on for a journey.

Our dreams and hopes vanished at once,

As the vehicle no longer accompanied us.

It was not more than an hour,

When we walked on foot through the asphalt

And arrived at the brimming tower.

The cries of despair,

The hustle of a desperate need,

Trembled our ears.

Tough men all gathered fair,

Drilling the soil, in search of the golden oil.

But all the struggle went in vain,

When there was not a single drop left!

The dark day lasts forever,

Leaving us souless, as we go out of breath.

It is too late to correct

Our past, our sin, our greed.

Our heart stays only in pain,

Seeing our mother earth perish.
