fathers will abandon their children
children will abandon their mothers
mothers hearts break then shatter
and the Earth will weep

neighbors become combative
cities become enemies
countries go to war
and the Earth will tremble

blue skies give way to gray
gray skies give way to black
black skies roil into thunder
and the Earth will shrink

and shrink and shrink
to protect her seas
shrink to protect her land
and the Earth will expel her vermin

continents rise and form
blue skies and white clouds return
animals crawl from where they hid
and the Earth will smile again
