Fraud

Trees falling around the footsteps
The bright land that was rejected
The land where sun now beams through the claws of machines
Where the sun once glimmering in the water
But has now been replaced by the greyscale city
On a rigid rock lays a lizard
Finding its way through the rumbles of humanity
His scales drag along the rocks and down through the debris
Weaving through the buildings and streets
There he finds another of his own
A fake, a fraud of his kind
An effort to ease the harm
