Humanity's Call

Before the break of dawn,
The trees whisper,
Fallen leaves rustling,
Untold stories as they fall down the paths
We tread upon.

Nature's open call
To the ears of those who dare to listen
To save what's remaining
Of the fallen Earth
Before it all but gives out
To an age of death.

Seasons are changing
Slower than before
Stuck in a time loop
Of the harsh, unforgiving autumn
Can humanity redeem itself
from its impending gloom

Around the corner
A forked road
One beckons to freedom
The other to an end
Which do we take
As we begin another day?
