Earthen Hole

The earth is going to hell in a hand basket, but don't let it fool you.

The blind side of earth will surely confess,
why it hurts through the call of its groans.
While its misery and strife grow,
we still hedge our bets.

Yet the chronicle of history has yet to implode.
But one day it will teach us its trick:
We can’t escape death,
And we all wait alone,

Either eager or fearful.
