The end of days was like one final hit

with the gods, or what gods were left

going drunk with ecstasy

the last of their followers engaged in an orgy of prayer

never had they believed so hard

never had they wanted something to whisk them away so badly

what did the gods do?

they sat back

drank it all in

and got high off of it. But really, what could they do

you try doing anything in the middle of an infinite light-speed orgy of belief

prayers went unanswered

and slowly, the thrill faded, and joy, and bliss

and then, there was no one left to do the believing

the high was over all too soon.
