@edgarblythe,
as the planet roasts
and the seas evaporate
all life is destroyed.

When we are all dead
under the seventh pole-shift,
what life will reach up?

@Lash,
what life will reach up
From the dead world of mankind
But the mind of man.

but the mind of man

@edgarblythe,
a warrior of peace
must know that to create peace
Sometimes one must fight.

@The Anointed,
so off with their heads
cried the poor starving people
to their wealthy Lords.

The king of the hill
surveys his charred mountain lair.
His life, burned to ash.
