The world was dark
Seemingly Endless
No one laughed
No one cried
No one even died

It all just stopped
Never to move
Never to see
Never to breathe
Never to be
Never to hurt
Never to dream
Never to wish
Never to be

Never to be the town
Never to be the people
People they used to be
the city and nation collapsed
But not all died, they only stopped

Maybe it's because
Because it was their fault
They messed everything up

They broke the planet
They broke the world
The broke themselves
They broke each other
They broke their dreams did the have any?

This piece is centered around my belief that humans have begun to destroy the world. And each other.
