Another Day (2012)

Darkness, thick that feels like water People’s scream’s as if great slaughter Choking you at the back of your throat Yearning for light to write a poetry note Eyes, ears, taste, smell, touch, no longer in use Blackness disables them in its destructive pursuit Fires light as they crave for the light Darkness quenches it with an ever black night Some drive making accidents panicking on their way Searching for the part where there’s light in the day They look up in a hope that the stars may break through But they chock, they gasp they fall and they spew They crawl, they hungry, they start to eat each other Brother eats brother, father eats son, daughter eats mother Looking where they think heaven is, crippled and bent Cursing God in the hope that their torment will end They think through the insanity that this must be hell Their bodies begin to blister, pain and swell Just another day in 2012 they must face For the love of God is no longer as he removed his grace They should consider this heaven and not hell For after this hell is worse and for eternity they shall dwell

Quite a frightening scenario you have painted here, Sydney. We wait...and we worry. There's no way to know what 2012 will bring. Love, Carolyn
