The Most Tragic Death

The ground

Beneath us

Trembles in fear

 

The future is

Dark

The ending is

Near

 

The trees

Around us

Shrivel in fright

 

They cannot

Stand

Another

Hot night

 

The water

Beside us

Slips away

 

It's death

caused by

The games

We play

 

The clouds

Above us

Crash to the ground

 

Yet nobody

Hears

A single 

Sound
