Last Chance
by Ela Lourenco
Steam rises in billowing verdant hues
Potion poured onto the source,
The origin, the seed
The very last remaining seed on the planet.
Wars have been fought
Friends betrayed, brothers killing brothers
All for this one seed
This one chance
Magic is no more
Killed by the technomorphs
Diseased by the sunless ashen skies
All that remains is this last half rotten seed
An ember of hope
To save or doom us all

A wonderfully dark poem.
