And The World Began To Die Poem by Juan Olivarez

And the world began to die,
The life giving air,
Turned into a foul poisonous, toxic, gas.
The thirst quenching liquid, known as water,
Became deadly, undrinkable, death.
And the world was dying.
And the radioactive, nuclear reactors, spewed forth death.
The heavens poured forth their tears,
In deadly radioactive acid rain.
All food stuffs became infused,
With deadly toxins.
And over all the world,
The atomic haze fell upon a doomed and dying planet.
Millions of bodies of animals and humans,
Bloated and rotting in the sun.
The oceans were no longer blue,
They turned white,
With billions of fish floating,
On the deadly radioactive waves.
And the world died,
And the sun set for the last time,
On the last day
Of life, on a planet,
Once known,
As Earth.
