"Gaming"<br /> <br /> -Albert Aretz


And it took our Ideals with it


When the seas corroded

and the sky went black


When the mushrooms took over the cities

and only the cockroaches were left

and they carried on the legacy of none


When the world ended

when it’s gone and done

and the people watch

as they see the sunrise at night


When the world ended

to the big red button

when irradiation ruled

and our genes were de-pooled

and there was not but amalgams


But even then

when the world shall end

I’ll be sitting right there

in my grand old chair

writing the world anew

ooooo! I love the imagery here! Maybe I'm just weird but the mushrooms could be bombs/clouds after bombs or like actual mushrooms(like drugs) and how they have taken over; as both can destroy entire cities
