The human race
Once so high and mighty
proud and aloof
Built itself on 2000 years of culture
Da vinci's
Van Gogh's
Palaces and kings.
2000 years to assemble.
Only a single spark needed to bring it crumbling down.
It came faster than anyone intended.
It came without warning.
Mankind destroying itself.
It engulfed the paintings
The gold.
The chambers and empires.
Engulfed them all in the unshakable darkness.
War.
War came.
The rats that once were the mighty human race.
Scurrying to their sewers to escape.
While they were swallowed
and crushed by the dark
Till only one bastion of light remained.
War had engulfed it all.
Except this. The last vestige of uncorrupted humanity
standing on the brink of falling
over the precipice.
The very last beacon.
That refused to be extinguished.
Did the light win?
Or all we all consumed by it
so consumed
we don't even know
cos we're so fucking
deep in we don't know.
I'l leave that for you to decide.
