Change

The starlight is almost upon us.

Diseases spread like fires that engulf.

Miracles absent, surrendering to disasters

People are scattered

The world is changing.

Whether good or bad we are consumed

We looked in the wrong ways and were distracted.

Now we are equal in worth and difference.

All but memories still stand.

The world is changing.

The bergs burst; beasts beaten in the black brine.

Animals disappeared, fallen, unknown.

The air smells of sulfur and ash.

Continents are no more.

The world is changing.

The water is dangerous to the touch

Life has vanished, irrecoverable

Cracks are on every surface hard or soft.

Volcanoes erupting devastatingly.

The world is changing.

Earth the ancient one, has only days.

Until, it feels Helios wrath.

We had so much pride and greed, we forgot our meaning.

All is lost, the world, the people, and the animals, gone from time.

Our world has changed.
