Solarburn - Alchemist

Parched, cracked and blistered the land

Sun bleached bones litter the ground

Ribs protrude through skins of the beasts

Lush flora now burnt, deceased

Solarburn

Blistered earth

The sky aghast with windy brown

The choking storms hurl dust around

Sun glows red through arid skies

All life wilts and slowly dies

No rehydration to be found

The wilderness is nothingness

The sun glows red through arid skies

Desolate country harsh and bare

All life wilts and slowly dies

Underneath the solar flare

Gaunt ruins where a forest stood

Sporadic stumps of burning wood

Artesian bores leak sand and dust

Once flowing pumps decayed with rust

Last precious drops evaporated, dams now baked and desiccated

From our star a solar wind, roasts the scars of the continent

Fragments of what used to be, a wasteland of salinity

A Mars on Earth all barren ground, nothing living can be found
