Gone Is The World

-Gone Is The World -
by Keaton Foster



Gone
Is the world
Where did it go
I just don’t know
I don’t pretend
To understand
How everything
Could just disappear
But it was once here
And no longer it is
Was it God above
Laying it all to waste
Or did the darkness below
Have some kind of a role
Did both cross the divide
Did they join forces
Against the likes of us
Or was this sacred place
Taken away because of what
Was done by us alone
Is our chance over
Has the experiment
That is humankind ended
And if so please tell us
What will come next
Lend us clue with regard
To what to expect
Now that there is nothing left
Gone
Is the world
The one once known
The home that we
Should have done more
To find a way to protect
Will there be another
A new day after this
The darkest one possible
Or will the sun fall
For a final time
In some way will we be fine
Or are we forever doomed
By all that we’ve done
Or failed to do
Fearfully and truthfully
I just don’t understand
Long sine has everything
Hit the fan
What we now see
How we have come to feel
All of it an incurable disease
That in silence many do suffer
I’m just a solitary man
But unlike most
Increasingly
I’m becoming well aware
That no longer is it there
What remains
What we have now
All of it just a charade
Just a sickening game
To delay the reality
Of all that has been done
By who and because of why
We just won’t know
I’m not trying to spread fear
I’m just trying to get others
To see what to me
In becoming ever so clear
Gone
Is the world
Where did it go
Maybe we just won’t
Ever really know…
