Comes the dawn
It is hazy
hazy with the smoke of a charred civilization.
What has happened here?
The end of the world.
Where did the people go?
Vanished in the mists of time,
a history lesson best left unlearned.
Why did this happen?
No one knows
but none will venture past here again.
Who lived here?
The rulers of the earth,
never again to feel the cool breeze,
which even now blows away the smoke
of an era past.
