Fire Skies

When the sun shines at night,
& darkness is replaced by light,
Know that we have lost our fight,
As we’re consumed by the sun.

When the trees lay bare without their leaves,
& the air is too thick to breathe,
Your chest constricts, as you heave,
As we’re consumed by the sun.

Scientists warned us to change our ways,
But old money fell into a craze,
We should have known it was the end of days, 
As we’re consumed by the sun.

The countdown clock hit the midnight hour,
Then the grid lost all power,
While chemical clouds rained acid showers,
As we’re consumed by the sun.

Humans screamed & begged their gods,
“Please oh please, let this be a facade”,
But there were no escape pods,
As we’re consumed by the sun.

Soon the world fell into silence,
Lives snuffed out by solar violence,
I bet now you wish you’d have listened to science,
Before the world was consumed by the sun.
