a mass grave
thousands upon
thousands
standing
sitting
laying
grass between
the toes and
trees in half
water covers the
land and
fire drowns
our cares
do you see it?
time slowing
flames sparking
we’re only just
starting
who will miss
the human race?
when all it is
is destruction
forever is our
never
slowing
now
stop
