aftermath

these buildings don’t belong here
sooner or later they will implode
either by an earthquake
or sworn enemy
it matters not

people will die
it’s an inevitability
no matter the property
no matter the where or the when
it will first come as a dream

and then it will be a reality
streamed online via satellite
archived to be revisited on demand
long after the world
has become a quieter place
