Phologizein

The sky is orange,
	& people are running.
It’s turning deep red
	& people are running.
The air is still
	& people are running.
It smells of sweet
	& people are running.
Plants are dying
	& people are running.
Trees are shriveled
	& people are running.
Animals are decaying
	& people are running.
Birds are falling
	& people are running.
Buildings are melting
	& people are running.
Roads are liquid
	& people are running.
The oceans are lakes
	& people are running.
The lakes are arid
	& people are running.
The ground is soft
	& people are running.
The sun’s coming closer
	& people are running.
The end is near
	& people are running.
The finish has come
	& people are running.
The earth is jejune,
       But someone is running.
