End days

 


People often

fantasise

about

where they would be

during the

end times?

How would they

pass those final breaths

before the inescapable universal death?

 

Well, I never wanted to be

the bearer of bad news

but look around you...

What do you see?

This is exactly

what we'd do,

you and me.

We are already living

in those final heartbeats.

 

We would consume.

News on demand.

Still being sold

at a premium.

Advertising will still run

until the very last shot.

A burning planet,

everything must go,

do one final shop.

Screaming at us to buy

their products.

Sunscreen will not

protect you a jot

when the burning ball

fires up so hot

and devours itself.

But they will lie,

telling you to buy, buy, buy.

 

People think

it will be sexy times,

one last fling

before the final curtain call.

Before those bells begin to ring.

Again, I hate to break this to you all.

But stress makes performances fall.

It's hard to get excited

when the world around you

is crumbling to the floor,

and the atoms are screaming to be saved.

And even if the earth does move,

It's not so easy to find romance,

within the uproar of a world

being torn in two.

It doesn't get much more stressful

than being up against the wall,

feeling the biggest bang of all.

 

The wolf always knew

this day would come.

One final walk into the smouldering sun.

Vaporising the thoughts that once did run

free through these fields.

He was a part of the pack.

Now he stands

alone once more.

Alone.

A tear drops at his paw.

Alone.

A lone wolf.

One final run.

Before...

Before…
