What's This All About?

Buildings crumble down much like castles made of sand. The circle is unbroken, the brotherhood of man. Flames burst out, they seem suspended in the sky. They can’t stop the terror, no matter what they try. Then comes a calm, like after a storm. The people feel the sorrow, as they begin to mourn. Although I wish that things, could be like before, As the flames are extinguished, their beings are no more. Step to the ledge, poised to make that jump. Jolted from the path, it’s a pretty big bump. A cloud of destruction shrouds the way back to the path. I try to add up the numbers but can't do the math. Smoke so thick, you can cut it with a knife. It becomes much like a plague, as it takes another life. The sun returns, but things don't look the same. Sometimes I wonder, are we getting better at this game? Darkness returns, with silence by it's side. You're tossed and turned about, it’s a pretty rough ride. You try to find your way but it gets lost in your head. It's seeming to get harder, to just get out of bed. So you stop and look around but you can see that you are lost. The autumn leaves start falling, as they float down towards the frost. Coldness starts to grow, you need only to feel warm. Try to find shelter, to get out of the storm. I can see the winter up ahead, trying to get out. Then I'm left here thinking, what this all about?
