We lamprophonize systems
With our natural permanence
Epochs of upholding civilizations
Observing from a distance
We persist, after your existence
In addition to
War, deprivation
Abandonment
Our seeds carry
Biochemical memories
We endure without cultivation
Lacking manifestations of
Greed, dominance
Self-importance
Thank you, Sammi for the prompt. (I didn’t make the word count)
