Time and Dust (Dark Poem)

  • NB: A lot of thoughts about climate change lately.

    Time and Dust

    At the end of all ends
    When Man has long since left
    There is but time and dust remaining
    No more fear or death

    And so you may ask
    What bought upon our fall?
    How did we reach this end of ends?
    Why are we no more?

    Well that one is easy
    The answer is the same as always
    Greed and lust…
    That is why
    That is how we came to die.

    Though I do wonder…
    Could our story have been different?
    I like to hope it could have…
    If only we had listened.

    But listening is our weakness
    Doing is not our strength
    We are easily swayed
    We focus on now and not the nect day.

    So perhaps we were doomed from long ago
    And we just telling oursalves a lie
    We told ourselves things were fine
    As we came about our time…

    So I should not wonder so loudly
    When the truth is before me like this
    Time and dust…
    Thats what is left…
    And I feel nothing will change it.
