[hometext] => This came to me during a history test.......odd....but I like it
[bodytext] => Lightning flashes overhead-thunder crashes down People scatter everywhere-though no one makes a sound Buildings crumble steadily-brick by brick they fall Rivers slowly drying up-soon the dead will call Blood lines every corner-each street is flooded red I walk knee deep in silence-keeping track of every head A slow chill rises up-my eyes are drawn away A stranger kneels before me-in a stance as though to pray The sky is black with fury-a slow breeze blows to chill Could he have been the one-who was summond here to kill? I slowly walk upon him-the ground cracks underneath He rises swift and agile-as a sword show from its sheath I stance, prepared to fight-although I'm fairly weak He simply raised his eyes-and gently began to speak "The world was too corrupt-the people cruel and dark Man kills man for money-evil leaves its mark Women sleep around-men do just the same Lies stamp out the honest-and no one will take the blame So here I stand before you-the one sent up to clean To send you each where you belong-then swiftly take my leave." I stand my ground but waver-fatigue soon overtakes Though confusion grabs my mind-and coils like a snake "You said that you came up-but shouldn't it be down? Didn't God decide this-that no good could still be found?" "My dearest, so naive and sweet-the world is out of hand God has given up all hope-so the Devil stirred the sands." With a flash of red and silver-from eyes and sword alike He leaves the ground we stand on-and rising takes his flight With that I wake in thought-I know God loves us so But could we grow so far from him-that he simply lets us go?
