Me no like love poems.

Last Things
Kevin Lux (a.k.a. stormpilgrim)

The trembling earth, the searing flash
Flame and fury, scream and crash
Cities changed to dust and ash
And Peace was found no more upon the earth

The leaden sky, eternal gray
Nostrils filled with rank decay
Darwin's Law the only way
And Justice was found no more upon the earth

A ceaseless snow, a numbing cold
For warmth a man would give his gold
The bitter freeze consumes the old
And Wisdom was found no more upon the earth

Grinding hunger, longing tongue
For grain a man would sift the dung
Cruel famine takes the young
And Hope was found no more upon the earth

Final Adam, final Eve
Too sick and poisoned to conceive
Alas, the Woman takes her leave
And Love was found no more upon the earth

The wick is quenched; the lamp expires
No flute for dirge or flame for pyre
Desolate, the Man retires
And Sorrow was found no more upon the earth

Barren waste of stone and rust
Where went the wicked and the just?
All are silent in the dust
And Hatred was found no more upon the earth
