New World Order

“The First Animals” by Franz Marc

 

I can picture the animals

each at their industry

making new order from

remnant subservience

wasting no time since

the last two men living

died only that morning

the victims of mutual

homicide leaving the

million year reign of

humanity all but forgotten

by creatures evolved

with deep patience of

rectitude faced at long last

with the plenary gifts

of a world without war
