[ WP ] - Humanity is extinct , after a global thermonuclear war . Write a poem about the last man made light going out .

When love burnt out, 
 Cities burned away. 
 A horizon of light was their last glimpse of existence. 
 
 When the light escaped to every rounded corner of the Earth, all that was left was silence. 
 The light has escaped to a fixture on a wall. It disguised itself as man ’ s greatest accomplishment. And there it stayed. 
 
 Everyday burning more softly with the heaviness of guilt cutting its oxygen, this light diminished to a meager sparkle. 
 
 Then it stopped. 
 
 The small amount of light it emitted retreated back into the center; into the center of nothing. 
 Man ’ s greatest accomplishment: oblivion. 
 
 Like the tungsten evaporates from the filament, humanity evaporated. Only the light remained for longer, dying slowly. 
 
 Humanity burnt out; the light bulb died.
