Death By Sun
Once in a vision that came to me as I dreamed awakeI heard Death speak in an unutterable tone of voice to all humanity
Saying, " why must you come unto me in ceaseless waves generation after generation

Unfortunate enough to be confined and bound with you to your finite, much abused sphere,
How long think ye shall the world be made to suffer from the madness of such a scourge?"
And humanity replied to Death. "[. .]"

Whispering in a breath so chill and dread the very Sun was turned to ice...
