[hometext] => A Post-Apocolyptic Future Vision (Thanks Anna)
[bodytext] => Cities once teaming with life, are all dead The rivers are boiling, the sun shines blood red The people all live underground In a colorless world full of sound Their future, like their planet Is a hollowed out dream That seems To bleed their life away Wise men spoke warnings, year after year Everyone listened, but just wouldn't hear So full of greed, envy, anger and hate Their endless petty wars laid their planet to waste The children all cried in the darkness As the monsters all crawled out of Loch Ness The path of their destruction could be seen From the highest mountains All the way to the sea They hope that one day they'll again see the sun Return to the surface and face what they've done But many generations will pass Before they get that chance And that which awaits them is something That no one could have ever thought To foresee The plants have mutated, the animals changed But the law of the jungle still remains the same It's kill or be killed in this life For only the strongest survive Maybe some day they can regain The peace their ancestors So foolishly threw Away Cities once teaming with life ~ Are all dead [comments] => 3 [counter] => 234 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Nazmythian [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
