Starless Skies
Too much rain
too much sun
times are broken
trains don't run
Boarded stores
line empty streets
food we hoarded
almost gone
Fueled by hatred
filled with greed
the darkest souls
crush those in need
Now the end times
have begun
carve the message
on to stone
deep enough
for those that come
If only we
had lived as one
if only we
had lived as one
too much sun
times are broken
trains don't run
Boarded stores
line empty streets
food we hoarded
almost gone
Fueled by hatred
filled with greed
the darkest souls
crush those in need
Now the end times
have begun
carve the message
on to stone
deep enough
for those that come
If only we
had lived as one
if only we
had lived as one

I loved the repetitive echo of this in the final stanza. It puts some serious emphasis on what could've prevented it all. Best of luck in the judging. It's going to be a tough one.
