And the world was left 

Not as a burned-out cinder

But a nugget of obsidian

Ebony, unyielding

Mirror image of a prism

A negative

Refracting not life’s rainbow

But rather, the nothingness of death

As a black hole

Retaining all the hate and greed and despair

That engulfed

Consumed

And destroyed it
