EROSION



                    Erosion
          Child.....
Hei Erosion! it's our playground .
How did you infiltrate in here?
Never imagined to meet you here .
Hei! what have you done with
my playground?
Why swallow what's not yours?

You've succeed in claiming what's mine.
Leaving my friends and I to our fate .
Where are we to play?
Why take what's ours?

All read and no play makes jack a dull boy.
I wouldn't want to be a dull child .
Why want to exchange your fate with mine?
Please can you give that back?
while am still being nice.

Luckily enough, we weren't here
when you stole our playground .
Who knows what
would have become of us ?
With your silly and uncalculative mindset,
you wouldn't hesitate to swallow us all.

You've claimed many lands,
Aren't you satisfied?
How greedy you're..
Here you're claiming mine,
I won't let you have it.

It's time to report to the Government.
Even if you're greater than I,
am sure you can't be greater
than the government.
It will be up to them to decide
If that playground be returned to me
Or remain yours.

   Erosion...
Who says you own here?
I own every empty land,
I visit anywhere I desire
I can still snatch from the
Government
If only am willing.
If the Government doesn't behave
I swallow them too .
No one is greater than I'm
If not the vegetation and forest.
Still any need to invite the government?
