It's The End

Smoke rings create
effervescent backdrops
for countries among
warring nations.
Omnipotence is overrated
bleeding forth
through eyes dry
and although they cry
what more can be said?
Babies weep
and mothers cheap
sold for cash.
But I'm not a pessimist
I'm just honest
and everything they said
can be thrown away
like the trash from yesterday.
In the trash
with the rusty needles
and the condom wrappers
from some guy
who's long forgotten.
Look at this mess we're in
and tell me this
is not the end.
