CITY
OF DOOM
The doors
are locked; the windows barred,
The streets
are in disrepair.....
The city
is shrouded in a cloud,
Of darkness
and dispair.....
The stores
are closed and shuttered,
And evilness
prevails.....
All around
the air is filled,
With agonizing
wails.....
The people
cry in anguish,
There's
nothing left to eat.....
No amount
of money,
Can put
shoes upon their feet.....
The ground
is cracked and barren,
The sky
is dark as night.....
There are
no stars to twinkle,
And no moon
to give them light.....
The animals
are prowling,
Their wildness
has returned.....
No one walks
the streets alone,
For on them
they might turn.....
The BEAST
is now the ruler,
You must
do as he commands.....
Death to
those who do not take,
The mark
upon their hands.....
Every city
here on earth,
Is just
a city of doom.....
They made
their choices long ago,
The LAKE
OF FIRE is their tomb.....
THE
WORLD GOES ON
The small
child walks down the dimly lit streets;
Searching,
hoping to find.....
A crumb
or morsel or piece of bread,
Someone
has left behind.....
The eyes
hold a tear, the forehead a frown,
The face
is covered with dirt.....
The frail
little body is clad to the knees,
In some
man's cast-away shirt.....
The childish
hands are cut and bruised,
The tiny
feet are bare.....
The hands
reach up and fingers are caught,
In snarls
of matted hair.....
The child
curls up in the cold doorway,
Sleep has
come at last.....
The world
goes on around this child,
Just as
in the past.....
