On the great ruined ball
hurtling in futile orbit
through timeless lightless space
rivers of death writhed to turbulent seas
pounding a thousand forsaken shores.
Desolate plains starved unmourned
beyond monstrous mountained wastes
dissolving down dark continents.
In the pestilent vaporous valleys
warped eagles coughed and screamed
in sullen, swooping circles.
Black panthers and lawn leopards,
grown grotesque, prowled and growled
through lethal jungles.
Across the vast carrion land
desolation dragged,
and gnarled towers loomed and leered
upon the devouring devastation.
The planet Earth was dead
and Man its soul had fled.
