A cosmic reaper
Descends upon our wake
Crawling through the cosmos
As All particles in its path disintegrate
Radioactive remnants
Of ancient celestial bodies
An eulogy that dictates the sentence of all Earth's living organisms
Electromagnetic waves decimate the ozone layer
Radioactive winds infect our atmosphere
A curtain of light befalls upon the sky
Bringing forth the final act of biotic life
Ultraviolet waves scorch the living
Stench of burnt flesh fills the air
Incinerate
Elements bifurcate
A veil of smog scatters across the land
Encased in nitrogen
Deprived from sunlight in a gaseous cage
Abandoned alone
Abandoned by the sun
Abandoned in solitude
Defiled by the stars

Within the depths of the oceans
An unseen thriving kingdom
Microscopic specks of life
replicating infinitely
Among their kin
An aberrant bacterium
Adulterated by
a Surreptitious mutation
A furtive scheme
to overtake the watery kingdom
Unbeknownst to their brethren
Inevitable catastrophy
Remnants of the population
Cowardly search for refuge
In the depth of the earth
They burrow in defeat
Within the Ocean
A Tempest of Iron
Like the blood of the fallen
A Legacy of Rust
Microscopic specks of life
Desecrate the ocean floor

Oh barren wasteland devoid of life
An arid canvas of soil crust
Desolated plains and lifeless valleys
Intimately adorn thy body
Deceitful silence emanates from the depths
Of these accursed stirring bodies of water
Life conceived ubiquitously from a wretched organism
That betrayed their own kin by dismantling their kingdom
Sentient beings slither from the watery abyss
A wretched cradle of life
From which tyrants will arise
With Instinctual urges to devour
Those who cannot escape
Appointed by natural selection
Primal beings rule over the weak
The disparity of life and death becomes law
As predators enact their mortal decrees
A wretched cradle of life
From which tyrants will arise
With Instinctual urges to devour
Those who cannot escape
Consuming the weak with no remorse
their light snuffed out by their predators
A wretched cradle of life
Where Tyrants are born

Festering plague of sentient flesh
Ravaged by the thirst of power
While satisfying thy carnal desires
Mother Earth thou hast defiled
Thy appetite
Has defiled her
Putrid abomination composed of carbon
Tainted by greed and all consuming sin
Earth, a witness to our horrors
Plagued by the wars of man
Moribund, wounded and hollow
Withering in humanities wake
Yearning for relentless retribution
Her own affliction now a vengeful dagger
Her reckoning shall befall undone
Fall upon us all
With her last breath she shall deliver
A swift strike to the heart of humanity
Consumed to dust by your own desire
Victim to your own machinations
Afflicted by the retribution
Of earth who you have deflowered
Thou hast consumed thyself
In irreverent gluttony
The misguided endeavors of man
All for naught

A dormant titan
Awakens from its slumber
Eyeless behemoth towering over the land
Primordial cauldron forged throughout millennia
From its crater a deafening roar bellows
Relentless tremors
Rupture the ground with scarring fissures
Toxic gases seep through terra firma
Retching in fury
the beast unclenches it's mighty maw
Regurgitating fiery vile
Multifarious explosions plague the land
A cataclysmic spectacle begins
Rivers of fire
Cascading with vehemence
Voracious magma Consumes
all in its path
Smoke arises like specters
Swaying forth from the ancient furnace
In a Ritualistic ceremony
Afflicting the sky with a scourge of ash and sulfur
The firmament weeps acidic rain
A veil of toxic fumes
Shroud the earth as it spreads through the sky
Rebuffing the touch of the sun
In absence of light
Eternal twilight establishes its reign
A thermal omen for coming winter
