Apocalyptic
Birds fly away
As the sky turns black and grey
Meteors rain
Buildings engulfed in flames
People are crazed, enraged, and others are afraid
Expected to listen to what the TV said
Cities overtaken by wars painting the floors bloody red
Kids laid out on the street starving or dead
Governments corrupted
Nations destructed
Over consumption of resources
Water is filthy
Judges are guilty
Animals die out
Forests turned to deserts
Crops lost to drought
Hearts filled with doubt
Screams and innocent shouts
Tsunamis drown the ground
Hurricanes tear up the town
Thunder struck around
Volcanoes erupt melting every thing down
Silence is spread across
Humanity is lost
Life was the purchase
Death was the cost
