elapsed time

this time the world has changed.
the advances that have captivated us and brought us to a new brink of living.
has turned against us.
the war machines that turn on the enemies have conquered its targets
they seek the new enemy
the creater
the one who gave it birth
the clocks have stopped ticking
time has run out
the day has come
the night falls
survival is futile
the darkness engulfs us
sealing our fate
stealing our breath
the rain that falls-molten
an inward breathe-ashened
men fall
women calapse
children disapate
the time has come to render ourselves useless
bow down the barren ground
listen to it
drink from it
eat from it
become the salvaged we proclaim we werent
depend on something that has been pronounced tameable
see how ruthless it is
see how it claims us one by one
