Carnivorous Fruit

You're the one who killed the sun. You're the one who's killing everyone. If light can not enter, there will be no colour. We're all going to disappear. Eating the babies. Plucking the daisies. Preserving their organs, Saving them for later. Artificial clouds are where the sun used to be! You choked the sky and now you're choking me! Drowning in every drop of water. Eaten alive by every human flower. Devouring every son and daughter. Sprayed by the punctured capillaries of a sick mother. Beware the carnivorous fruit. It's killing us softly. Who knew dying would taste so damn good today. Every bite I take I am slowly eating myself away. The only way I feel alive is by eating what will kill me one day. Who cares about that we're all gonna die someday. Breathing through the holes in her lungs. Flowing through her ever thinning blood.   Stored inside her dissipating muscles. She's sick, and we're all sick like her. This is the post-human era.
