The Darkening

The godification of money is nearing completion
its marriage to power and its offspring corruption
seeps into everything, saturates everything, everywhere
the assembly of acolytes includes nearly all
the denouement approaches from all directions
but readiness is no longer available or even desired
consumption will consume the consumptioner
no matter what is consumed, no matter who consumes
the hunger of human extinction awaits those remaining
what to do now the only unasked, unanswered question
