milk

the milk is spoiled
"oh no. oh dear."
its rotten smell is lingering
"oh no. oh dear."

the trees no longer breathe
"oh no. oh dear"
the air is grey and blue
"oh no. oh dear."

the rivers have run all dry,
"oh no. oh dear."
their beds are cracked and parched,
"oh no. oh dear."

the skies whom once were blue,
"oh no. oh dear."
now weep ashes and dust,
"oh no. oh dear."

the crumbled buildings fall
"oh no. oh dear."
the rubble settles down
"oh no. oh dear."

the soil is none but barren,
"oh no. oh dear."
life's tapestry fades to grey,
"oh no. oh dear."

the creatures have all fallen,
"oh no. oh dear."
their songs silenced in despair,
"oh no. oh dear."

the sun rose a faint ember,
"oh no. oh dear."
its warmth but a memory,
"oh no. oh dear."

silence blankets the world,
"oh no. oh dear."
earth's final breath escapes,
"oh no. oh dear."

the void, a solemn echo,
"oh no. oh dear."
all that remains is a whisper,
"oh no. oh dear."

the milk is spoiled,
"for better, for good."
its rotten smell is lingering,
"for better, for good."

the graves sigh soft whispers,
"for better, for good."
petals break the silence,
"for better, for good."

from barren earth awakes,
"for better, for good."
blossoms paint the skies,
"for better, for good."

solitude dims it's reach,
"for better, for good."
a haven serene and pure,
"for better, for good."

the soulmates roam as ghosts,
"for better, for good."
they waltz in meadows new,
"for better, for good."

their laugh's the wind's melody,
"for better, for good."
as two souls drink their milk
"for better, for good."
