we all die

and so we begin

as minds divide and

worlds collide


Cheshire cat's grin

so sharp and alive

as it radiates light


swirling black hole

so hungry, so dark

no man left behind

it's no walk in the park


swallow it whole

empty eyes loll

queen of hearts screams

whose head shall roll?


curling black clouds and

poisonous snow...

radioactive

air seems to glow


sinister birdsong

shatters the quiet

warbling screams which

cannot defy it


streets are all empty

rivers' waters turned blood

voices fall silent

caked up with mud


and so we all end

all gone

all dead

why bother begin?
