Dystopian Future
The days of tomorrow
I awoke throughout the night, unsure of what has woken me
A feeling in the pit of my stomach, unsure of the noise I hear,
Was that a scream, a whimper, a moan, a total voice of terror
Climbing from my bed listening, waiting for the noises to disappear.
My imagination gets the better of me, that desperate need to know
I opened the door of my bedroom, the horror I see is unthinkable,
My house, my street, my city, my world has disintegrated
All that I know, love, depend upon and enjoy has become unliveable.
How is this possible, what has happened in the silent night
The houses are gone, the trees, gardens and sidewalks are ash,
Luckily for me, or maybe not so, my bedroom was left intact
I can’t think, can’t breathe, my perception of reality clash.
Finally awake, my senses and my thoughts begin to flow
It is all over, has the world come to a bad end,
Am I the only survivor, the only living entity, beast or human
Do I need to fear for my life, am I under attack, do I need to defend?
