So it goes...farewell Kurt Vonnegut

For all those war mongerers, a final word from the now late author, playwright and poet Kurt Vonnegut;

Requiem

When the last living thing

has died on account of us,

how poetical it would be

if Earth could say,

in a voice floating up

perhaps

from the floor

of the Grand Canyon,

“It is done.”

People did not like it here.
