Gaze amidst the ruins

Of creation

Self-inflicted

Disdain

And scorn

Each whisper of hope

is vanished, extinguished

Beneath the veneer of progress

We etch our legacy in crimson

Silence — Where compassion lies dormant

Darkness — unyielding march towards oblivion

In this grim, bleak theatre

we play the lead role

An elegy for a species lost

to their ambition

Inflict betrayal

Expect nothing

There is no going back

We rise as titans, yet stumble

insignificant

As a relic of old era

forgotten

Our creation was the end from the start

Embrace extinction

We are both the serpent and the fool

Our legacy is doom

In this unyielding march toward oblivion

There is no hope for us

Annihilation

No will to carry it further

Empty void is left behind

Each to their own destruction

Each to their own demise
