Ravaged by fear, The Land dies
Can Saints with swords win?

Look upon the crime:
Long dead eyes forced Wide Awake
to greet a new day.

Vandal! Wretched slime!
Poor bones; What more will you take
plundering Earth's clay?!

Soothe me? Not this time.
Nature's rules are not to break.
Life will find a way.

A dinosaur's "ghost" hangs above a bio-engineering lab creating dinosaurs from fossil DNA, with different lines of energy flowing through it. The picture is symbolic: Using long exposure time photography capturing an ethereal spiritual vibe with a light aura and mystical feeling, showing flowing light trails.

Black text on white background: rust-rot clung to her - after years, The Omega naught but gnawed steel bones [know they not the Ways clear is the Elder Record vengeful our justice] just us ol’ fossils one last expedition and then homeward bound [chose a punishment glass that rains sideways could do we shall decide, yes] mom and apple pie - we grin, tossing baseballs back and forth ‘tween routes [or even better Kepler-452b - pseudo-Earth to fool] returning now viewscreen’s glitch quickly sorted our fam’lies await [their fate sealed with cold intent will we watch the Old Gods feast] #ScifaikuSaturday | #fossil #bone #RetroArtPrompt | #omega #WeirdMicro | Elder record #haikuhorrorprompt No. 1650 | #vengeful #haiku #scifi #horror
