We send this
message on the air.
In case there is anyone
listening out there.
The earth is gone.
Repeat
the earth is gone.
Fallen. Turn back.
Run.
WE TRIED TO FIGHT IT.
We really did.
But it was no good,
the beast was too big.
The beast we created,
brought about our misery,
used our own stupidity
to create a sea of unease.
Just because we could,
didn't mean we should.
But every time
these lessons turn up,
we forget what
we once stood for.
In those last days
we only saw,
greed, hatred and war.
We have done the same
so many times.
Played this game of God,
when we should have walked different lines.
But to those above, we are nothing but lab rats.
We were exposed to the hypnosis spray,
hateful waters rained down for days and days.
Until we couldn't tell what was real
and what was just a mind
going through a terrifying ordeal.
And we fought.
Every single person. A flood.
caught in our blood an urge
for violence.
Hungering to purge, to silence
the world for good.
TO BE THE LAST ONE STANDING.
Well, that is me,
the last remaining human.
In this pouring rain
clearing away the mind-altering solution.
The waters are polluted
but things are clearing, gradually.
Alas I think I'm alone.
No company.
No way to rebuild society.
No civilization,
just a lone traveller
seeking meaning.
Thanks for reading.
