The End

TASMIA RAHMAN

I had a feeling we would see the world burn, 
End of humanity in the fires of hell 
A hell we created out of fire and sorrow 
The sorrow of those souls we fed off 
Those souls we watched crash and burn 

I had a feeling the end was near,
The end of mankind, but the start of fear 
A fear conjured by those in hell 
Conjured to make this world vanquish
Disappear into dust and hollow

I had a feeling that death had arrived, 
Arrived in the form of crushed souls ashore 
A shore made of skulls and bones 
Those we killed from forgotten humanity 
Humanity, a concept we failed to see

I had a feeling that hope was lost for all, 
That this world would succumb to its wounds 
But, it was just a new beginning 
A beginning blessed with the rays of unity
A unity for mankind to avenge the end
