The seas boiled
With dead fish
And smoke filled
The portentous sky,
And the sun was blood-red
And it was the end of days;
And the Earth was filled with
Screams and cries of terror,
Masses of dying humanity,
Wretched and poor
Shocked at the end
Of a comfortable certainty,
One species being replaced
By another and nature
Is cruel that way,
That nothing
Lasts forever.
