In Five Thousand Years From Now

What sort of life forms will exist in this World in five thousand years from now
Will it be a long forgotten sound the bellowing of a cow?
Will Humankind still exist or have gone the way of time?
Just like the long extinct dodo or just like the death of rhyme.

Species evolve and to life come and go but only Mother Nature last
And the future we cannot foresee though we do recall the past
In five thousand years from now great Human built Cities may be ruins in decay
What does the distant future hold for Humankind even seers cannot say.

What sort of life forms will exist in five hundred centuries
will there be birds and fish and animals and will there be plants and trees?
I know that Nature will live on for Nature will never die
Other life forms evolve and come and go those are facts and facts don't lie.

Will people still pray to their God for an afterlife of heaven
Or will Humankind be long extinct in the year seven thousand and seven
I know Nature will be around for Nature will live on
Though many of her life forms to eternity will have gone.
