Ashes from a log that burned
Rubble in the place where once
Some children learned
Dust to dust
This could be one of us
Great empires that rose and fell
Once mighty strong but now
Of their remains not much to tell
From dust to dust
They were like us
A civilization built on greed
So many hungry mouths
Yet only few allowed to feed
They too end up as dust
Not unlike us
The earth continues to revolve
While on its surface
Humans struggle to evolve
As dust evolves to dust
And so we must
Great drama this, the plight of man
Full of importance,
Full of plans,
Mere seconds pass from birth to death
A story captured in a breath
Upon the wind the dust will blow
When all is quiet on the earth below
Despite our biggest, loud Kaboom
We will expire awefully soon
And life will travel here once more
Through other doors, on other shores,
Through avenues as yet unknown
Perhaps through species
Not too much unlike our own
Yet too, will they end up as us
From dust to dust to dust.
