Remember the pleasant days of the calm before the storm
Where hearts were red, sky blue, before normality lost form
Now the hearts are black, sky even darker, life loses shape
With the moon rising, no heroes donned with cloak and cape
Trying to run past the past, its shadow sneaking ever closer
Darkness descends, devouring the depths, memories a blur
Picture frame shattered, families torn, every rose begins to burn
Screams echo out, dreams and nightmares unable to be discerned
Claimed beneath the eternal night, chaos is the new world order
Hope just a fading memory, skirting past the horizon, entering slumber
Birds lost their wings, lions have forgotten their roar, the stars begin to fade away
Silence settles upon the barren land, waiting to be broken one day

So real I felt like I'd been teleported into a not so distant future. A scary state of world we face pb. If world leaders could read this, I wonder how they'd react. Great writing. ; )
Thank you very much, AP!
Strong write and could be so true. We were all worried that this may have happened back in the 1960s but it never did then and I pray that it does not happen now.
