Fall of the Old World

The world lurches sideways,
Bringing with it
Chaos
And ruin.

Oceans shift.
Ancient shorelines disappear
Beneath walls of rising water.

Mountains erupt from the earth.
Great valleys split open.
The land is remade
In moments.

The retreating seas
Reveal forgotten terrain,
An alien world
Hidden beneath the old.

Where life once flourished,
The dead drift silently
Across poisoned waters.
Metropolises vanish
Beneath relentless waves.

Ancient creatures,
Long imprisoned
Within the deepest trenches,
Rise into a broken world.

Day becomes twilight.
Storms consume the sky.
Rain falls without end.
The old world dies.

The whispers were true.
An age has ended.
Another begins.
Whether by judgement,
Or consequence,

Humanity has reached
The end of its story.
