The Sky Wept

Ash and tears
For the species man
As the infiltrating tentacles of self destruction
Unstoppable
Spread from hand to hand

The earth hid its eyes
So the moon would not see
As she whimpered and cried
For what was to be

The sea thrashed in rebellion
Displaying its hate and pain
While the creatures of the ocean
Floated on salty waters
Decaying upon white sands

In protest of their demise 
Neptune's children
Called upon the universes strength
The poison cast upon the waters
Man in golden goblet drink

When the sky wept black tears
The earth hid its eyes
The oceans roared with anger
The moon wailed and cried
