A Old Thing

Billion of years ago,
A thing crawled from
an ocean,
Because there was
nothing left
for it to eat.

It ate everything
on the beach,
then crawled
into
a nearby forrest

And ate,
and ate,
even
the
tiny
furry
brown
things got
eaten,

Until the lands
became
a desert.

With nothing
left,
It crawled
up
A
mountain,
Died
and
became
extinct….

Learning how to be a better human being through poetry, prose and my journal. Still working on a better life in San Diego, CA..... Truth is, I am just another human among eight billion other folks on planet Earth. I've been told that my poetry is dark. I practice poetry.
