So You Want To Start A War

They said the earth used to be bright, they said the earth used to be warm. That life was easier, that walking as safe. The planet was stifled by fighting between human and human, the wars that the earth faced were only caused by man.
But that was along ago, that was before the darkening. That was when money had meaning, when people went to jobs and the biggest worry was being late. That was before they woke and took back over a planet that we thought was ours. It never really was ours, and they made sure to remind us of that, as violently as they could.
Ancient beings, things that had been described in folklore. Once they woke, the world was never the same.
