Left behind (first draft)
The day the sky turned black
the streets were still bright
illuminated blue and white
by every shop and street light
Vibrations shook every tower and steeple
windows shattered and glass fell
as the beast from below - the evil of people
rose up from hell
The bruised earth, infected and bulbous
cracked and snagged at the claws of darkness
flames roared, soared through earth's pores
as the ones left behind locked their doors
Down every street lies rags from those who were
lifted, gifted enough for his almighty call
whilst the cried of terror from teachers, lawyers and priests
echo through the streets as those from below begin to crawl
into windows of bastard children and unbaptized babes
as they lay unsuspecting
of the pain and hell they must pay
Blood from hells core drips from his teeth - broken, black
humans are entrapped and forced to attack
god's angels fly down from heaven, this is the beginning
of armaggedon
