what will the collapse look like?
will the ground finally give way
and devour us in its cosmic maw?
more likely it will come unannounced
and remain hidden, we men none the wiser.
convinced that our predations of each other
are part of yet another grand master scheme
as opposed to the ignorant tantrums of fools
unable to find peace or show grace
kicking screaming and clawing will we go
every step of the way to oblivion
why one might even say
we’ve never stopped falling
from Eden.
