Eclipsed Demise

With a butterfly kiss

Evolution crashed

Into itself and

Time was nonlinear

The Before and After

Stood still but

Orchestrated a dance

Alone and unrecognizable

Yet crowded

And cloned

Moving stationary to the left

As no one

Who was someone

Wasn't anyone

They never were and

Nor would they ever be

Moved frantically to the right

And their faces were smeared

With gaping wormhole eyes

And embalmed with the dust

Fallen from burnt stars

For Humanity never existed

And Life was an illusion

Land was an ocean

Burning the lungs of History

And the Future

Was a philosophy

As a joint-mind hovered

For one lingering synopsis

Watching Awareness erupt

From the chrysalis of Consciousness

Humans were beasts

Rabid and roaming

And clinging to the chill

Of the Moon hiding the Sun

And as the anthropomorphic

Flesh was dissolved

Birth and Death

Were endorsed as one

For Reality morphed

In a flash as everything

Was accepted as nothing

And Today was lost

In the blink of Hell's eyes
