Something has gone wrong
and things are not
how they used to be
and firestorms
hang in the
polluted black sky
while lightning bolts
lash out
like lights searching
for a answer
and bitter acid rain falls
among the rubble
left by man
and as far
as the eye can see
desolation goes
and man has lost the plan
for the survival
of every thing that lives
and death is everywhere
and the constant shadow
hangs ominous
where the sun used to shine
and an unstoppable fire
burns the land
and winds of radiation
blows endlessly
where birds used to fly.
