Fire and Ice

As I look out past the trees, over the horizon and into the distance I temper my thoughts As possibilities bombard my mind, each outcome more dire than the other My mind shifts from hope to sadness, desire then destruction Someday's I think the earth will end in fire and someday end in ice Where do I turn now, my body's letting go My thoughts are a reflection of the visions in my soul Will I be laughing, how, I can't see the way to go The earth is crumbling around me and I've lost all sense of hope So as I see, smell, taste and hear the screams of each apocalypse unfolding I feel a calm, a sense of closure and wonderment as to what will happen next The earth has decided that we as a species no longer deserve to dwell here And we are either being expelled for eternity or just being culled to just a meager few If we saw the error in our ways, could we have changed direction Or if we could go back would we actually change or would we simply do it all again Where once dreamed of grandeur now we dream of survival How far we have fallen when our feet have never left the ground So this is our turn now, our mothers letting go The very ground we were born upon has shown us out the door The earth is laughing now, and there ain't no turning around The earth is crumbling around us and we have lost all sense of hope Fire, Fire
