A sequel to ‘The Brook‘.

“For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.”
I used to say that,
And much more.
But now,
Now I am nothing
-An eye sore.
No water I have
-None to give.
It’s infinitely hot.
Now,
How can I live?
The land,
It’s glassy.
The sand,
It has melted.
The earth is fire.
God help me!
Don’t tell me it’s time to retire.
I WILL go on!
But,
My glory days,
They are long gone.
There’s nothing left.
I must go.
My stay on this planet,
O! I loved it so…
