There's a silence now here but at one time was sound
With the many voices of life, activities, and events
But this quiet isn't one of solitude or inward thoughts
The planet no longer supports life, none of any kind
It used to have intelligent life, witness the monuments
What is now exposed rock, was once a sacred ground
The bleak terrain holds secrets washed away by time
And the winds sweeping across the surface, relentless
Dust storms are ongoing, but barely make any sound
Lost are the millennia, civilizations that lived and died
