The Final Sunset Poem by Mihai Dragos

Upon this day we wrote our epitaph with scarlet letters

And saw as fit, humanity to be only a word

Outshine the Heavens a million ephemeral stars sent skyward

Till all the cities of the world in the Dark Sun’s light had cowered



The war birds fly, metallic wings unfurled

To carry Death to every corner of the world

The Sun’s fire upon the earth we hurled

Dreams, hopes…upon so many battlefields fell slaughtered



The azure sky we burnt and watched it as it crashes

Oceans deep blue we turned to blood and filled with ashes

The jewel of Life now singed, into the arms of death she plunges

With iron tears and groans of lead its only funeral marches



Burial clouds horizons invade wildly

Pillars of darkness, extinguish light witch shone so brightly

The Final Sunset, usurped of brilliance… so lightly

Condemned souls on the shore seeking the others warmth hug tightly



The final fate of us awaited since creation

Now gazed upon in hopeless desperation

The witnesses to perfect, pointless desolation

One final prayer, now uttered... resignation



That all the lives that ever lived

Should not in vain have struggled

Too cruel a joke for destiny to now embrace

And no redeemer come to give a thimble full of grace
