Elucidating Questions

I can’t stop it,

This impending doom,

This end for millions.

I can kick and scream and struggle but in the end

They’ll die

And in vain they will perish,

Emptied from the Earth in all unceremonious endings

She won’t shed a tear or say goodbye

She’ll go back to her chemistry station and work up something else

But I will miss them

The wanderers

The children

The lives

They will be ended

And I’m powerless
