Women, like mineral mines
Men like explorers
Exploiting beautiful places
Leaving immeasurable holes
Adorable land, laid to a waste
Women like mineral mines
Men like explorers
Digging different places
Taking numerous samples for a test
Before settling, searching for fine minerals
Women like mineral mines
Men like explorers
More extinction mines in town
Its minerals extracted for samples
Still confused, if the sought has not been found

(such a meaningful write, dear poet)
we dig for gold
in fields of ideology's
nuclear wastelands of hope,
fighting each other
for each shard of horizon, we glean
devoid of life's suffering cadence
..
'More extinction mines in town
Its minerals extracted for samples
Still confused,'
but, still
there is yet grace in our fallible humanity
we need only, find a way to prevail
and believe
that those who follow us
may eventually
learn from our cyclical, mistakes
before
mother earth, gives up on us...
