A poem about a dream I've had about the world around us and the people turned creatures.

-Faces Becoming Tired-

I see people with their
Faces becoming tired
Increasingly worn epicenters
Of tender meat and fragile bone
They continue to struggle to live
As the world around them dies
Destruction is both king and court jester
Applauding its own power
Laughing at its certain weakness
Such weakness will be consumed
By the ferocious appetites
Of those who are not known
Strangers with something more to prove
A hunger that won’t let them feel
A seconds worth of anything but contempt
For everyone, including themselves
They know what they must do
Darkness and truth is their god
The deity of their own twisted choice
They will consume and in turn
Feed their own ideological need
The world is full of victims
The world is overflowing with victimizers
One day, long after it’s too late
The feast will end and all that there is
Will face death, from hunger turned starvation
With madness in their hearts
And sadness in their hopeless souls
They will turn upon each other
Creatures consuming creatures
Beastly aberration’s without a victim
Only enemies against enemies
Only killers against killers
A war of obliteration through attrition
The extinction of all maintainable species
Means the extinction of all predators
In the end the weakened victims will win
Giving their life for victory
They will forever be strong in heaven
As those who feasted upon their flesh
Rot in the madness of their own personal hell
Faces becoming tired is what I see
The world around me is but a dream
A dream based upon the reality of our species
A dream of darkness and death
And the end result…
