The Light At The End Of The World
Our wrecking work is done
Too well, I fear
So do not seek the sun
No sun shines here
In misplaced trust
The sky is dust
Through which we peer
In this, our metaphor
Do you recall a tree
That once stood tall?
Now far as eyes can see
No trees at all
A barren shore
Marks ever more
The forest's fall
In this, our metaphor
In Eden's pleasant lands
We did our best
The flowers in our hands
Dead like the rest
In turning soil
To poisoned spoil
We fail the test
In this, our metaphor
The light that filled the spheres
And gave us hope
Will, in two billion years
Go up in smoke
And burn us
And turn us to
A cinder mote
Of that we can be sure
Will burn us
Will turn us to
A passing thought
Just like this metaphor
