When
The sun surrenders its eternal war against gravity
The naked core exposed, dwindles into dark dust,
or
E x p l odes into a brilliant
All consuming flame
Civilization snuffed out like a wick
Or evolved to the point
That humans
Cease
On that accursed hour, I shall
Cede all hope for humanity
I guess I am a glutton for punishment
The naked core exposed, dwindles into dark dust,
or
E x p l odes into a brilliant
All consuming flame
Civilization snuffed out like a wick
Or evolved to the point
That humans
Cease
On that accursed hour, I shall
Cede all hope for humanity
I guess I am a glutton for punishment

great use of explode, isolating odes by itself. hope as long as 7.6 billion years is indeed..... you a prometheus on this rock of ours. This poem sounds so awful so terrible until that last hold out. beautifully done.

Your descriptions create such vivid images in the mind's eye, really well done. This cosmic end, which lead to what I found a surprising and inspiring twist at the end. We have to hold to hope. Though our lives are fraught with suffering, there is ever present beauty to being.
