Why The Abyss Stares Back

Time passes, fear grows

All eventualities

Seep in like poison.

 

A façade of peace,

An underbelly of pain.

Two halves of one world.

 

Cracks begin to show.

Forked tails in elegant clothes

Eyes open to more.

 

Wide smiles show fanged teeth –

Hunched over those that still pray

Is your God alive?

 

Lands over the sea

We used to think they stood tall.

Now, all is falling.

 

I’m a Nihilist

For who could look at the world

And still have any hope.
