and the earth split open
ravenous and unforgiving
it swallowed us all whole
not one of us was left living
i was taken last
made to witness the fall
to say goodbye to the past
to say goodbye to them all
they all stared blankly
as they were taken
i heard no asking
there was not a scream
or a begging sentiment
and as they swam
to the second hell
before i could speak
cry or yell
i was swallowed as well
to the pit of reckoning
where everyone fell
