'All Will Pass Away' Poem by Linda Winchell

'All Will Pass Away'

Rating: 3.0


All in time will pass away
swallowed up from view
in each minutes click of day.

Nothing to stop the decay or rot
of all man collected of the life they got.

Not taking a thing but leaving digs to find
for another culture in a future time.

Will they understand what we were back then?
or see just the distruction we caused on this God given land?

Will they see the good that was earned by some?
Or will they just see all the bad that mankind had done?

The bones of unborn children in unmarked graves
marks of distruction on the walls of their caves.

I would hope they see all that was good in man
and possibly see, just a glimpse of who I am.

I intend to leave this world a much better place
so that future generations can see what mankind did erase.
