I crawled to the end of the world
And peered over the edge
And found the living roots
Of every plant and tree
And the souls of men who ruled the earth
Hung from the branches
Like silent bats without wings
Cocooned in mould and grime
For thinking they made a difference
For thinking it was worth their while
The air was mouldy and mist-ridden
Something foul was afoot
The waste of a selfish race
Hid the stars in muck and soot
How long until it flips, I wondered
The weight of the world is on our shoulders
The blood of the worlds are on our hands
And THAT, my dears, is the only truth.
This is so good! I love the imagery and the message. Thank you!
Thank you!!!!! 🙂
SO well put. I love the flip at the end – the end of the world!!! – and though a tough message, so artfully presented. Thank you.
Thank you!
