No Longer A Fiction: Poem

In the worlds between my skin and bones, something trembled
My vision cracked, as if reality had grown tired of my uncouth eyes
Fire blazed through the skies and mounts of ice, frozen a million years prior,
Melted, floods swallowed cities
Clouds became ash and drizzled waters wretched with venom, scalded flesh but more they tortured souls
Trees turned skeletons, graveyards of nightingales and doves
Chirps erased with smoke
Everything asked for help, every bit pleaded
Dying stalks of a dry, rotting bush
Asked not to be a corpse anymore
Starving mongrels with crushed limbs
Cried not to suffer lovelessly anymore
Every ask, every wail, every cry, every wound
I turned, you turned, we turned
Deafblindmute to
Kingdom of steel, glass and concrete reigns
A new hell is birthed
The old devil hides ashamed, the genius of our evil is too great
Torturers who work for masochistic glee
Sapiens, what wonders have made thee
