battle hymn of a choking world

they say
some day, the sky will
burn,
they say we fight, they say
we yearn

for light
despite the lack of
sun,
by which to aim our 
loaded guns.

they say
the world will whimper
closed,
a dying match in a
toilet bowl.

they say
we fear what is 
to come,
but we march on, yes, we
march on.
