unless, though
too tired, and conspired
in self-strewn 
aggrandizing armageddon 
so reaped from depleted
humanity.

economically engulfed and comical 
or so, might say
tomorrow history buff
glaring down upon today as
some yesterday seen
impending
steeled and upending in
trends those past tides paint perfect
from all hindsight hiding
too tame and, unabiding, while
relying upon
such loss, so far form grasping
that lasting hope, almost atoned
and alone, for
this present presents little, while
all around abounds about
telling tales (prophesized)
in such scenes, while
what was plasters it
witnessed.

bereft, still breathing for
this
brief eternal believing.
