I watched you overcome your fear of air
And then you never looked back.
You dreamed to conquer and declare all you saw your own,
And I never changed your track.
You first were cautious of abusing my gifts -
I continued to incessantly give.
You first respected the affection I favored you with -

Unhindered, I let you live.
I became one with everyone you’ve loved
When rigor mortem invaded your home.
On my shoulders your web of cities grew,
Majestic steel mixed with dirt and bone.

We’ve found a harmony -
Symbiotic bliss matched in key.
I provide everything
And you give me a reason to exist.

I marvel at you, children.
I create and you improve,
And even though you scalped my lands
I’m glad I helped to feed your youth.
Just remember that when I’m gone
There will be no more I can do.
Will you be carrion? Will you be consumed?
