Nothing more: Nothing more

Nothing More

 

There is only a few more minutes left of my life

Maybe a few hours but i know i'm getting weaker

Yesterday in the middle of the desert my brother died

I am now the last human on earth

 

When i was a child i got to know

What the planet looked like many many years ago

When lived the parents of my great grand parents

when snow still fell in winter.

In these days we lived by the rhythm of the season

Where the end of summer brought the fruits of the earth

Animals came to drink from streams

where a pure and clear water still flowed

But me i saw only a dead planet:

Lunar landscape and suffocating heat

All my friends died of hunger and thirst

Falling like falls the rain

Until there was nothing more

 

Everything started a long long time ago

When my ancestors were blinded by pieces of paper they called money

who brought them power and riches

These new gods would stop at nothing

they would do everything to gain more

they shaved the earth polluted the air and dried the rivers

After a century, some opened their eyes

warning the gods they had to stop everything

But they didn't head the warning

for their language was of gains and profits

Its years later they understood the foolishness of their acts

In panic they declared the global state of emergency

When the oceans ate the islands

And great flood destroyed the cities.

Afterward came the tornadoes and inferno

Earthquake and the great dryness

On all faces everywhere distress could be read

Humanity had to fight the pandemics

Killed by millions by awful diseases

The survivors died of hunger and thirst

Falling like falls the rains

Until there was nothing more

 

Yesterday in the middle of the desert my brother died

I am now the last human on earth

In the end this great intelligence we were given

was just a poisoned gift

Because there is only a few more minutes left of my life

Maybe a few hours but i know i'm getting weaker

I cant walk anymore, even less breath...

 

Good bye humanity
