The sky darkens to a shade of black

A reaper carrying a sickle and sack

A blanket of smoke obscures the light

Making the future seem not bright

Thunderous footsteps shook the Earth

A monster of apocalypse giving birth

Grief and fear covers the air

Erasing all the warmth and care

Wails and pleads deafen the ears

Confirming my most dreaded fears

Conscience is ignored, morality vanish

Humans became a rabid animal without a leash

Why humans are eager to use a weapon of destruction

Is way beyond my simple comprehension

A weapon that crushes the hopes and dreams

A night filled with nightmares and screams.
