Atlas Shattered... Her

It began

With small

Things,

Things

One is scant to notice

A calf stillborn,

Brand new

Wheelbarrows

Rusting over.

These were shrugged

Off,

But She was

Trying to

Tell us...

Its now much

Later. We've

Come to the

Apex. We can't

Go any higher.

This is

It. The

Breaking

P

O

I

N

T

.

.

.

I can smell the

Burning

The skeletons

Are marching

To Zion

It’s coming

That great

Wrath.

I should've done

Something

I had heard her

Crying

In a dream.

We were

Dives, and she

Lazarus, and

Atlas is

Dear Abraham,

Pul-

- ling

Her away

From our

Scorching

Tongue.

And as

I awake,

She thought

It fit to

Finish this.

So it happened.

A sweep of

Shadow fouled

Our fields

With plague.

Oceans and lakes

Burst with second-long

Phosphorescence

And were

Aflame.

She became

The Tower of

Babel, we

Became

Feral,

And in one

Final

SCREAM!

Opened new

Canyon to

Expose her

Innermost

Bosom.

Oh how the

Earth died

Screaming

As her

Abraham

Tore her to

Pieces.

Where's the

Bounty he

Promised?
