The Land Will Be Here Forever

I am not saying anything that's new it has often been said before We are temporary caretakers of the land just that and nothing more The land will be here forever and we are born to die The same fate for the billionaire as for you as well as I Us humans are mere mortals we die in our own pain We leave the land forever but the land it does remain The land is part of Nature and off of the land we live And from the land we take and take and back to her little give We abuse the Earth that feeds us but for that the price we pay In droughts and long dry Seasons in the World of today Of storms, floods and fires and earthquakes we read and hear of Worldwide The part we play in Climate Change can hardly be denied But the land will be here forever and for us there is an end We are born as mortal life forms why otherwise pretend.
