Fallout

The world was rotten
Its core was destroyed by man
By nuclear fallout.

And I saw it all
Fire falling from the sky
It happened right then.

And we were all changed.

The radiation
Poisoned the earth we lived on
Rotted to the core.

I was changed, too.

My eyes turned orange
Blazing with the fire of souls
I’m forever changed.

We were all so changed.

Eaten from the core
Rotten from the inside out
The last of us, here.

The ones left behind
To rot in our misery
We were left behind.
