The earth shook
The sky became firm
The waters rebelled

Because we live such
Brief lives
We fail to see the
Impact our heavy
Footfalls leave

And so the arrow
Strikes low
The future flows for feeble
Wisdom
The lives we live don't let us see the flux of nature and impermanence of our hospitable world. Our race has failed this great hurdle, and so the world will burn.

Rejoice, you no longer need fear the consequence of your actions.

You never did anyway.
