Last Straw

A camel's back was broken
Three eyes have hardly woken
Time relates a story to space
The one about the human race

One day too long
The response too strong
Up in smoke does history go
Most current life out the window

A thought too little
Down does the sanity whittle
A catastrophe realised too late
The falling of a symbol's fate

Twisting through the trodden roads
A ghoulish sight gleefully goads
Its prey to take action most foul
And disappears with the screeching wind's howl

Only thoughts about nothing linger
As the half-human beasts lick their fingers
In this grave is where hope does lie
It took no time for all of it to die
