Elemental Magic @NWCreativeUnion #WWUC

First, there is nothing.

Blackness pervades all that is 

all that will ever be

until it collapses in on self

with such a force

the breath of life is ignited

Winds of change

the breath of the gods

sustaining life

though was this the life they had in mind?

Harness the power of creation

to do our own bidding?

The light becomes the fire

fed by the breath of the gods

filters deteriorating

as we consume what was thought

to be never-ending

Ignorance cannot be seen as bliss

should it become our undoing

As the water begins to boil

we question how we might sustain ourselves

there is no thought to sincere change

only alternative sources

so that we may continue on

there is no washing clean

only risk

as poison flows freely from our taps

and we turn our heads

for the sake of convenience

The wrath of the warlords will be our undoing

as our mother prepares to scold

revoking free will

it is her magic we must fear

for within her body

her soldiers march to meet our modern armies

of plastic and synthetic humanoids

who long ago forgot

who we really answer to.
