Acid rains down and hits the bull in the eye
But in the window to its soul,
is more acid in the sky
Chemical reaction, nuclear explosion
The sign of end times is already in motion
Tectonic shifts, a dragon’s burnt kiss
Molten lava coats the lining of our lungs and our lips
Rumbling in our throats, the venom's strike won’t miss
Gargling fury, a “genetic glitch”
Hold us in line so we won’t twitch
They keep trying to lynch this wild witch
But we die and we rise, so that we can exist
To push forth and persist
With an earth-quaking twist
Rotating domination
Orbiting hope and liberation
Celestial revolutions, all for us, all for this
Claws in the cause, battle scars in dermis
They think they’ll live forever but it’s dark by six
The Sun is eaten up as they’re clinging to the cliff
I step on their tips
So let go, don't resist
Spin down and succumb to your Black Hole abyss.

I find the wording of your poetry to be so beautiful.
This specific line really stuck with me:
“They think they’ll live forever but it’s dark by six
The Sun is eaten up as they’re clinging to the cliff”
There’s a darkness and and innocence intertwined in those lines. Something about it evoked a memory of my childhood and running barefoot on the grass as dusk crept up on my friends and I, laughing without a care in the world but conscious that the day would be ending for us soon.
I really look forward to reading more of your poetries and thoughts!
