complacency

Consummation of an entire race
Aware of an approaching doom
They decided to marry a well known
Relatively, close fate
Then no:
Scramble!
Work faster!
Now's the time to change!
Still time to make this right...
Then no:
It's not working!
Failing!
Hearts seizing!
Fuck it's too late!
So they sat back and watched
towers,
monuments
homes
families
friends...
FALL
Foundation of a thousand years
Gone within a couple blinks of  bloodshot eyes
They're not here anymore...
Not on earth...
But somewhere in the galaxy beyond
Their souls undoubtedly must live on...
