Mankind's Suicide

Darkness invades the plains,
Stains the earth and maims its slaves.
It pervades the barricades
And the hordes armed only with swords
Fail and bail.

Victims are impaled.
They wail at the scale of annihilation.
The stale stench evacuates even the brave.
Families mourn and scorn in caves
As they lay and pray for unlikely salvation.

For this day today is now away
And none will be saved regardless of their behaviour.
No matter what their name,
Be it of poverty or of fame,
They will all die in shame in flaming graves.

The day is scorched with grey.
Mankind: self-enslaved,
Will be obliterated to their dismay.
No corpse will remain.
None will exist again.
