The World As We Know It
poetic scribble by Bob Axell 2009

The world as we know it
Will always be here
The world as we know it
Drenched it despair

Pestered by warfare
Obscured by our share
Of violence and fear
Each year after year

The world as we know it
Will always be damned
We cloud our fair skies
And damn our own land

Pierced by our spears
This haven of spheres
Is clear as our tears
An ending appears

The world as we know it
Will always exist
But we will not know it
We will not be missed
