The End of the World

by Rachelle Eldar (Entertainment Editor)

stars in the bruise black sky are dying
the sun is slowly burning up
while love turns to fear
and darkness is rising

listen to the wails
the pleas
as fires roar
and fate looks on sighing

sad is the world stripped of its glory
the planets fade and turn to dust
it’s clear in the end
we’re all just a story

listen to the cries
the weeps
as people lose
the will for surviving

dark are the nightmares that are swirling
through time and space where we once thrived
now gone are the times
of stories unfurling

sounds of silence now
no screams
and sorrow’s pools
fill cracks left from dying’s grief
