Notes from a Dead Survivor Notes from a Dead Survivor

How has it come to this?

Even though the war has stopped,

I still see blood everywhere I look.

I've seen many people crumble,

even the strongest must fall.

Chaos has thundered through,

destruction following its path.

Human beings believe they are invincible.

That they'll never die.

But the truth is, they've been dead all along.

In mind, body, and spirit.

This dead survivor had survived through it all;

the war, the mess, the destruction.

But she's dead because she knows the truth,

the harsh reality of life.

Humans are their own destruction.

And they will be the death of themselves.
