Nothing of then
remained.
It was as if
the land were
stripped bare.
Winds droned
through broken
landscape of
mountain heights.
Dark clouds
decayed into
dreary drizzle
over rivers
of deaths despair
in flood.
Look down
now, upon
a world turned
against itself.
Was this what
thousands of years
of the word
had brought.
As decreed
in scripture
of ancients
upon which
a blind mankind
had dined.
Evolving from
man of caves
to creator
of artificial
intelligence.
From a flat world
to interplanetory
explorer.
\'It came
to pass\'
In thine name,
in thy image,
I am become
destroyer.
