The fire rages throwing shadows across the trash. Pepsi, Coke, Malboro Cowboy Killers. Lightning strikes the midnight black pavement. Please Lord, keep us safe. Is this how the world ends? A puff of smoke tainted with a subtle hint of Budweiser. Oh, the humanity! The wound has grown too large. A bullet whispering through the air, landing in a young mans chest. The world ends surrounded in yellow caution tape. Police Line: Do Not Cross. Here the guardians sit on the worlds edge, looking over at the chaos, coated in yellow gold and thick black smog. Choking on past sins, the curtain falls on this vaudeville show. The world doesn't end in fire or ice, but both.
