Was filthy man-made dust man made
the cause of the demise
of non-living and living things
like water, earth and skies?

Was some super-sonic sickness
what caught the world asleep,
and maybe blew the beast to bits,
away from here to keep?

Did man's intolerance of men
who just weren't quite the same
end in a match of Kill The Bum
and end up a tied game?

It really doesn't matter how
all things that were just died.
At last, getting a break, for
the last time people cried.
