The Final Fall
I hold in my head all of fire and stone
I carry truth and carry it alone
To set it high in skies unknown
To burn and never let fall
Realize how small we are
Living under a tiny star
While small, just too perfect to mar
Turning and burning, unable to fall
Here there is no sky but star-fire
No small worries like desire
Nothing to see or aquire
But cold lights that cannot fall
No sound from that distant mote
The speck of dust so remote
It does nothing but float and gloat
On how it will never, ever fall
We have naught but fireand war
Death by the thousand-score
Too much sorrow to sit and ignore
And no time left to explore
No matter how you may implore
There is no longer any safe shore
To hide from our last, fatal fall
So battle and fight while you can
Set in motion your tiny plan
For there is nothing there but man
And he cannot stop his final fall.

I was a reading a lot on current events at the time, and eventually I just got fed up on hearing all of these stories of how awful we are to each other. So I wrote this.
