Untitled #1A Poem by DownTheDrainOh when, my
friend, will the universe end? Supposed
creator, deliverance send. We ask for it
all and get s**t in return The sky will
ignite and the oceans will burn. The soldiers
will march to their imminent dooms as death and
destruction and misery loom. The innocents
drown in the blood of the clean as boiling
points reach an unhealthy extreme. The pure will
unite with their reasoning sound before being
stricken back down to the ground. Compassion and
hope will be things of the past The first will
be first and the last shall be last. The people
you've come to both hate and admire transform into
ashes that dance in the fire. The money you
worship and love and hold dear is nothing but
paper inspired by fear. All food turns
to s**t and all water to piss, Freed murderers
cross all the names from their lists, Pray god send
his son, he can save us from this, It's really too
bad no messiah exists. Not a matter of
"if," this will happen someday And those who
have sinned will most certainly pay. But no more than
the righteous, the kind and the good, They'll suffer
much more than they probably should. No discrimination
when fire is king. The broken will
walk and the muted will sing. Impossible feats
will be quite commonplace The limbs of the
fallen float freely through space. With happiness
no more, we'll learn to adjust We'll still have
our sloth and our greed and our lust But in living
our new lives, remember we must: the search for
the good was an ultimate bust. No more of the
clergy, their ways, or their lies Or all the false
prophets and all of their jive. The former
religious collectively sigh, With no god to
cry to- all ignorance dies. With nowhere to
go and no place to call home, on blood-coated
fields and deserts we'll roam We press on
exhausted with stomachs unfed Just like in the
stories as children we read Not stopping to
sleep or to lay down our heads We'll have plenty
of time for that s**t when we're dead. Not caring for
health, we'll lie down in our feces as humans turn
into an endangered species. We'll contract
new diseases that poison our minds disable our
hearing and render us blind. Now we may seem
to thrive, but of this have no doubt: we won't fare so
well with our numbers thinned out. I'm sorry that
my explanation is long I'm just telling
you everything that will go wrong The days will
grow short and the night will go on Any hope or
belief in redemption is gone. But when will
this happen? It's quite hard
to date. I should've said
sooner, but now it's too late. You best say
goodbye to your family and friends Today is the day
that the universe ends. © 2010 DownTheDrain |
