Fools Doom

This path led down to the point on the river shore Now covered in ash it’s tree lines did cinder and since then nothing natural grew and won’t do forevermore Over the water burnt dust and fiery splinters cast a blanket of fire It was a night where white cloud hung low in black sky A night of otherworld cries and where otherworld eyes saw A golden light in space cast a shadow in the dark A golden light showed a trace of a race once human now millions of light years apart But it was here at this point that their message came through If we carry on this way we will have created our own doom Our legacy on earth will not be one of great minds and great deeds Our legacy on earth will be a race that destroyed all living things Do we unite and turn the tide away from our imminent doom or do we be remembered as the race of fools that grew apart to design its own doom.
