Why have we waited here on wires?
We came this far to watch our shadows burn
Here we are, where stars collide
Witnessed by the seeing eye
It is not certain, nor is it clear
But here in it is where we are

If you should find god, tell him this
“What a waste, in haste, this is…”
And should he tell you all is true
Beat his banter black and blue
With devil wings, we soon shall fly
For god is me, I am a lie…

In tortured stores
Where winters wait
There is a hole
Miscalculated and irregular
It holds no face
No measure of depth
No place to negate
Should it choose to let you in
You may soon notice
It’s not as cold as it might’ve been

Okay, here on wires
Swarmed by events
It all transpires…

Whoa, I got a end of the world kind of feel, it was awesome, man, haven't heard from you for awhile! Nice, nice poem.

Hollow.
Courts.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

Loved it.
This part especially:

If you should find god, tell him this
“What a waste, in haste, this is…”
And should he tell you all is true
Beat his banter black and blue
With devil wings, we soon shall fly
For god is me, I am a lie…

Wow, I Loved It, Especially These Lines...

"With devil wings, we soon shall fly
For god is me, I am a lie…"

Aren't We All A Lie, At One Point Or Another

I'd Rather Be Hated For Who I Am Then Loved For What I'm Not~!~

I love this very much.
especially this line:
We came this far to watch our shadows burn
so well done.

Thank you all.  I'm not sure if this is an "apocalyptic" poem, perhaps just an end of SOMETHING, rather than everything...I'll leave it up to you.
