always the little things

always the little things;

The end isn’t an appropriate term to describe what events labored the earth

It wasn’t one moment that brought the world to a sudden stand still of demise

It was several

Several little things

Several times

Where death tightened its grip on the weak little planet

When the Earth,

As she stood alone in the concoction of dazzling stars and caliginous colors

that make up the ominous abyss we call space,

screamed out into an endless void of ignorance

as its inhabitants looked her in the eyes and pierced her heart

those times were the times

Because it’s always the little things that matter, right?
