It Didn’t Take Long

It Didn’t Take Long

It didn’t take too long

Only a couple hundred years

Long enough for the world to change

The world’s forests and fields

Once fed the entire world

Gave air for everyone to breathe

And just beauty for all to admire

But overnight man’s course changed

Factories replaced the forests and fields

People scampered into cities

Leaving the food in the farms to decay

The animals no longer have a place to live

And the trees can no longer give us air

But even now, after two hundred years

Factories have begun dying themselves

Rusting and decaying as they sit ignored

Their land is returning to the forest

So the world is being restored
