Smoked out of Eden
You will try
not to breathe
shielding your eyes from the flame
when the windows shatter
and the walls scream
when bodies writhe upon the floor
But you should thank me
for you are lucky to have witnessed
what only I could know before
You started with two
until seven billion greedlings
grew rotten to the core
The last rats to leave
my once perfect planet
smoked out from the Eden
I never intended
to be 'yours'
not to breathe
shielding your eyes from the flame
when the windows shatter
and the walls scream
when bodies writhe upon the floor
But you should thank me
for you are lucky to have witnessed
what only I could know before
You started with two
until seven billion greedlings
grew rotten to the core
The last rats to leave
my once perfect planet
smoked out from the Eden
I never intended
to be 'yours'
