Angels or whatever came to see the world
It was supposed to be something beautiful
They doused it all in kerosine
and set it ablaze.
They stepped back and said,
"Hows that?"
They toasted a few marshmellows
and then just left.
None of them could see what the big deal was
anyway.
So they just left it there burning in the vacuum.
At least its pretty now.

apocalypse poems usually turn out fantastically dark; yours is no different. aside from a few typos, i enjoyed the imagery and irony, especially with the marshmallows.
thanks for entering. -
