3.

All around were

People running

Into each other,

Biting and feasting,

As 0 things watched,

And we all ran and ran and

Did nothing.

A man in a taxi

Pointed a gun towards his head,

As a bull rammed through his wife.

Wendigos watched the

Scenes of entropy from above

As cannibals toured the world

Awaiting till they turn.

Giants, all with

A three headed dog

Chained to their necks,

walked around crushing

And destroying humans.

Nalusa Falaya

Crept in the freudian shadows

as

All the humans kept running around,

Fire awakening and encompassing

Us all.

“Morality is true, for it is simply the system by which we have implemented to not kill ourselves.”

A group of women

All searched for a house, hoping

To find their grandmother,

Who lost her husband to a war.

They found the house,

It had been abandoned. And only a

Lonesome white cat remained.

“I looked up into the sky, and saw those unintelligent mass destroyers with great prophet that stood upon atop the beast and tattooed prophetic tales and wondered; is that man, or can man become that? Could we, if we stopped looking for other deities, find ourselves to be apart of the pantheon as well? Can we burn just as brightly, what if we burn just as brightly.”

These were the beginning lines of our text, they ushered in all the emotions one needed to believe.
