The End

THE END A small flame flickers in the darkness, a candle held up high All around no motion, but no one questions why? Am I all alone now? There must be someone here The flame flickers so madly, the end I feel is near One bomb was all they’d planned on explode then sit and wait End of life, as we know it, destroyed by greed and hate The flame is growing dim now, I know I’m all alone Hate has overcome us, turned our love to stone Darkness all around me, I’ll never find out why My fellow human beings allowed this earth to die.
