Ich musste mich zwischen 2 Sachen entscheiden, was mir recht schwer fiel. Eigentlich wollte ich diesmal eine Kurzgeschichte anbieten, jedoch ist es wieder ein Gedicht geworden. Aber diesmal ein Englisches.

Watcher's Song

Over the course of centuries
It dwelled within the planet.
Today it breaks its boundaries
And it breaks us humans with it.

Some call it 'monster', some call it 'saint';
The result is all the same.
Once it's done, man will faint;
It does not need a name.

Whether God exists or whether not,
It does not seem to care.
Though there's a pathetic praying lot
Hoping to awake from this dark mare.

Others know it's Doomsday now,
accept and take deep breaths.
In their final, they take a bow
and face their sudden deaths.

You ask: 'When has the world gone wrong?'
And 'why do we have to pay?'
'Devil's just waited far too long',
Is all I have to say.

I? I watch from above and wait.
For I don't feel any agony
When Earth's suddenly a 'Blank Slate'.
Yes, it's some kind of irony,
that Apocalypse's so late!
