Barren

Nature can tell tales that are grand
Ones that humans can’t dream to compare
Scenery that shows the destroyed land
Was the battle won even though we suffered despair
Leafless trees and layers of mist
Cover this barren landscape
Through war and conflict, the land persists
Still nature holds its shape
We can’t start to win against Earth
No matter how hard we try to stop it
Continuing to fight no longer has worth
Why not give up and join it
