And The Gods Wept. Poem by Michael Kersting

And The Gods Wept.

Rating: 5.0


2050 A.D.

The war scorched Earth
Once teeming with vibrant life
Is now a
Cold,
Lifeless,
Silent,
And dead planet
Spinning quietly,
Ever so quietly
On its axis
All is still,
All is silent,
But for the soft lapping of the waves
Echoing along the deserted shore
Of dry bones and seashells
The Great Nuclear War came and went swiftly,
Destroying every man, woman and child
And all life on the Planet
And the Gods wept.
