Arc of EradicationThe horizon draws closewith frightening haste to suffocate us with the weight of our self-destructive legacy Ghastly, the song of the panicking sirens deafeningly proclaims the terminal stage of ecological catastrophe Bound to this earth, this moribund soil these feculent cities, these stagnating oceans conquered and lost, conquered and lost a volatile species, inexorably destined to perish in flames seeking to harness forces we can't comprehend. The arc of the universe bends towards our eradication. Dust is rising from the fallow fields As verdancy gives way to morbidity One stifled breath coughs out a wasted prayer The next, a curse upon our past complacency Hope is draining from the sallow faces As divinity remains silent and unseen A final appeal, A final betrayal Humanity's fate is sealed "Do not go gentle into that good night" Yet with no answer betoken We contemplate nihility Digging the graves for the starving and choking Resigned to the knowledge the bindings shall remain forever unbroken Yet far beyond the dreadful horizon the vessel of our salvation has woken |
