They built walls as the world caved in
fountains as the reservoirs dried up
prepared feasts in famine
now they lay in rags or in coffins
shouting to the heavens for its cruelty
but the kingdom of heaven's walls held strong
their cries lay unanswered
their servants abandoned them
the utopia they fancied unfurled
a monstrous tapestry of cruelty, greed, and hatred
soon, the cries ceased all together
working on worldbuilding a post-collapse (like 100s of years after) society that is rebuilding and also studying the past empire that collapsed. This is a poem from an in-universe poet
This is good ~protodrew! Intense and dramatic!
Hope to see ya around hee more, as I pop in sometimes. Also #ctrl-c IRC.
