An Era's End



Once we walked on earth carpeted with gold;
sat round breathing fires that lit away the cold,
where hot whispers of moments come to fold,
spread tales of winds grown stale with age.

Then came a day for the turning of the page,
when our house would rise hissing in flames
at the hands of alien bandits aided by our kin...

Winds stand still on the back of flapping flames,
as forests faint at the decimation of their lings.
Mountains double in pain at the passing of sanity,
as invisible hordes of numb faces
witness the unfolding of our demise.

Now here in the ashes of this, our final hour,
stand we of the nacred tongue- helpless, forlorn;
watching in sunken silence-
the festivity of fools clowning on sacred ground.
