The Only Tomorrow

…

The Lily-pads are all askew

The frozen water's waiting for you

…

You're lying there, blood forming a crown

Motionless, upon the ground

…

The Earth is ending at your feet

Humans dying in the streets

…

The bombs on high

They signify

The truth

The soldier's cry,

Your love is

Waiting for you

…

The world won't miss you when you're gone

The birds won't sing a prayer

And as time goes on, passing by

Your dust will merely thicken the air

…

There's no definition of right and wrong

In a world of death and destruction

The animals live just as gloriously

As when Earth first began its production

…

And maybe the ones at the end of the world

Places too remote to be bothered

Maybe they'll manage to start life anew

But the differences will be abhorred

…

And the sun, when it rises, won't feel a thing:

Not pain, nor ultimate sorrow

That Earth's people are gone and they won't be returning,

That they ruined their only tomorrow

…
