A Beginning & An End

Time is an infant
a new beginning, a new end
What came before is relived

We feel with our eyes,
The pristine magic of earth

Flat wooded shores, white oaks
Redwoods are sages,
They whisper of the past

We see the native ones,
as they lived in harmony

The great plains of grass
The desert of painted dunes
A myriad of purple hues

Herds of buffalo roam,
no man can own them

The nomads of the plains
the cliff dwellers of the desert
farm with ancient secrets

We come on great ships
sailing salty seas

White greed captures and owns,
it destroys all and itself as well
Cities covered with darkness

A beginning will be born to end
A civilized world shall remain savage
