A Lit Up Sky

I stand at the crossroad and close my eyes, 

The sound of a thousand marching footsteps,

Scurrying off under the night sky,

Sidestepping a lone figure standing tense. 

 

The bright billboards overpower the dark night,

As it drowns into a maddening frenzy,

And bring the honking cars and passing crowd into limelight.

While the People passing by me, whisper, \"is he crazy?\" 

 

But beneath the ruckus of the lively crossroad,

I hear the whirring of a motor,

A distant siren encroaching upon the clueless crowd

Black hawks whizzing across the sky at full throttle. 

 

As I come to a terrifying realization,

A smirk spreads across my pale face,

welcoming tonight\'s orchestrated liberation,

And Expecting the mistress of death\'s final embrace. 

 

And in the blink of an eye,

A million bombs light up the sky

And a million more silence the night.
