Endgame

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 27, 2018

Since the
first twitch,
lifeâ€™s been
on the
move.
Moving.
Always on
the move.
Growing.
Expanding.
Evolving.
Devouring.
Devouring 
to survive.
Kill or be 
killed.
Progress,
on the
 backside 
of war, 
conquest.
Strongest 
move on.
History 
written by
victors,
narrative 
prevails.
Into the
future life 
propels.
Destiny 
written,
destruction 
in its 
wake!
Moving.
Moving toward 
endgame.
Journey to
the infinite.
Generations
built.
Millions 
paid the
price.
