The Apocalypse

Hold hands till we see the sun,

and the apocalypse has just begun.

Let’s watch the empires fall,

and say nothing at all.

Come on, this should be fun.

We don’t have time to stall,

’cause they are breaking down our walls.

This might’ve been all pretend,

but I’m glad I’m with a friend.

Fires cascading like waterfalls.

The world is about to end,

and there are still bonds to mend.

Get ready to embrace,

Our fall from grace.

The sky is starting it’s descend.

The heavens are ablaze,

and hell is to be raised.

In the afterbirth

of this world unearth,

I have a resting place.

My last night on earth,

spent in magic and mirth.

Burning everything to the ground,

dancing in the lunatic sound.

This is all it’s worth.

Flames crashing all around.

Soon, they’ll let in the hellhounds.

What else can be done?

We stand here stunned,

as the kings all become clowns.

Catastrophes can be outrun,

and Gods can be outdone.

Look the empires fell,

and it’s our tale to tell.

Come on, this should be fun.

Write the truest sentence you know
"All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know." -Ernest Hemingway. I don't know about anyone else but this quote really got me thinking so I want to know what your truest sentence is! The rules are simple: One sentence only, and seeing as this is a creative exercise no facts allowed. For example, the Earth goes around the Sun or humans need oxygen to survive are factually correct but will not be allowed. Get the gist? Good! Now let's see what you guys can come up with! The winner will be chosen by me and praised!

Infinity

I was made because a star exploded and one day my atoms will come together with others to create another and so I have existed for infinities.
