The World Will Burn

It will die down

With sorrows

but will rise up

Like a phoenix

With happiness

what ever comes next

We don’t know

But we hope it will be good!!!...

The world will burn. Eight deaths in eight seconds. A whirlwind of events. An unfortunate haze. A great feeling of euphoria. The obscurity of human connection.

First, we need to start at the beginning. Allow me to introduce you to the people known as the Enigmatic Eight. We’ll start with Castiel, the first among them, a name spoken with urgency and carried throughout the wind with mystery.

I'l...

The world will burn

The world will smoke and die

And you, “citizen of the universe”

Don’t have time for things like,

Sunglasses and tear gas

You’re building something new

The stars will burn

The stars will always burn

Every night your “vagabondage”

Gathers with holy water and fireworks

Like you mean something because your alive

We’re gonna burn

It always ends like this

We tore each other apart s...

“The world will burn,” she said, staring lazily out the window. Gladys talked as if the apocalypse was boring to her. Which I guess in some sense it was. You live through enough of them and they start to feel routine. I, on the other hand, was still awed by the majesty of it all. My people inhabited the last age so I was still very new to this “the experiment didn’t work try again” concept.

The world will burn

With anger

Hate

We will wage war

Plastic will fill the sea

Toxins the air

We suffocate

With earth

Kids will cry

Knife cuts

Hidden

Not an accident

We will burn

And burn

And burn

With broken

Dreams

Forgotten

Promises

But a fire

Stronger

Will arise

Phoenix from ashes

The world will burn

With hope

And love

With connection

We fuse

Pressure

Remodelling us

From mundane to a...

The world will burn.

They sent a raging fire across the country. No one knows where it came from, only that it kills everything it touches.

I ran with my family, out of our village to the next one over. We barely escaped, most of our belonging were burned as we fled. I watched my friends die, I watched my house burn, and I watched everything I loved disappear.

As we drove off, I could see the...

The world will burn

If we keep our heads turned

It will let itself go in a blink of an eye

Leaving us no time to cry

It will lose its beauty and wonder

Leaving us all asunder

Some will help fight to keep it alive

While others will do nothing but try to survive

If we do nothing now it will be our turn

To watch the world burn...

The world will burn. Or so my mother says. She's always been a bit... what's the kindest way to phrase this? Off her rocker? This is a woman who sneers down her nose when other families don't contribute cakes to our church's monthly bake sale, and snarls at children when they try and swipe more than a drop of communion wine. She's... difficult.

So when she came home last night, clutching a bunch...

The world will burn.

At least that’s what I thought

When you left

It felt as if the world would fall

In ash and rubble at my feet

But not at yours.

Because you were fine

You didn’t miss me

Not like I missed you anyways

You had them

But just as always

if they ever hurt you

The world will burn....

The world will burn

And everything with it

Blackened memories

Scorched losses

My brain continues to fry

Hiding the hopes

Burying the dreams

Scurrying away the childish things

I fight it and recover

Taking back my losses

My memories and hopes

Holding tight to the things I loved

I am stronger now

Able to protect myself

I will keep my dreams

Fight for what I lost

Cling to those I love

Let go of t...
