Dance of the Dying
I feel the world ending,
It’s coming to a close.
When the sun sets tonight,
The red, inky sky
Will never again be seen.
As we dance over the
Graves of our ancestors
That will soon be our own,
We inhale the poison,
That corrupts our lungs.
We feel
That the world is ending.
And we know that
Only the dead and the gone
Will remain.
The clock is ticking.
Death is upon us.
Lungs are heaving.
Hearts are sputtering.
All in a futile attempt
To save what has
Already been lost.
The world is ending.
I feel it in my bones.
We’re all breathing poison.
I don’t want to go.
I’m going…
I’m going…
I’m gone.

Sometimes I feel uncertain about the future and the only way to cope with those feelings is to get it out onto paper.
