As Darkness Descends
As darkness descends,
Bound for perpetual night,
Eight billion groans, moans and laughs
Adorn its progress.
Obliviously distracted
And living in denial
As the concrete and mud
Steal the very breath
In a slow motion crash
Equipped with no brake or airbag;
Flicking through,
Chortling
At the frivolous,
As the life
Is squeezed
Out of the land.
