Legacy

How will nature find its way with man-made mountains?
The many mountains made by mankind, are as diverse as natures climates.
Jungles of tubes and bushes of sharp metal.
Mimicking a lava landscape with a haphazard collection of objects.
Will this be our legacy?
Is nature to overcome the toxic rivers that seep from these peaks into rivers and will it cradle live?
Will mankind witness nature conquer these mountains, as mankind has conquered hers, and becoming one again, making these mountains places of beauty, and erasing this legacy?
