Extinction

The sky was dark and full of ash

the fields are all on fire.

The rocks landed with a big crash

‘been running now I'm tired.

 

 

The world went dark, the food is spent,

there’s nothing left for me.

My herd ran off and I was left.

And now I cannot see.

 

 

The world is black, the ash is strong,

the heat makes me feel faint.

I cannot hear the other songs,

can’t breathe without complaint.

 

 

I stumble far but cannot think

of how it all must look.

I feel the death, I’m on the brink,

this whole world just shook.

 

 

I’m all alone, I cannot feel

I yell, no one can hear.

I lay there, shed my final tear,

and slowly fall asleep.
