And everything stood still. engines turned off with shame,
Airplanes were grounded in monstrous hangars, useless toys
Trains on rusted rails pointed forwards in vain
With nowhere to travel.

Finally
Humans were caged, confined to their premises
Mumbling meaningless prayers to lesser gods,
dumbfounded are they, rebuked by Goddess Nature:
You should have listened to us,
We're better off without you.

And the grass grew greener
To take over concrete pavements,
Crawling, yet distrustful, upwards,
On wrought iron lifeless towers,
Abandoned fortresses.

And the air was clean.
Though still shaking off polluted particles
Clouds poured anew, diamond clear rains
To water the creation, reborn

And trees proudly stretched up
To spread young sprigs,
reaching out to the birds and pigeons
Nesting, feeding new lives,
Fledglings, taking first flights.

Afterwards,
Silent engines, shameful airplanes, aimless trains
Green grass, clean air, clear rains, proud trees
newly sprouted sprigs, fledglings flying for the first time
Nesting birds and pigeons,
All of a sudden were joined by bees of freedom
That broke out of jail-like hives
To produce pure golden-brown honey,
Neither to be abused, nor to be stolen from them.

Eventually
Old wise Planet Earth is raging no more
And we can go out in peace
To start all over again.
Don't you think so, my love?
