Agreement By The Sea
The ship has been rocking from shore to shore
battering over rough waves and endless seas
that came to the restless shores more than fifteen years ago
the temperature has risen to over a hundred and fifty degrees
forcing the country to call a state of emergency
People were literally falling in the street as their
body absorb the deadly heat and a decade old silence
explode in the atmosphere exposing a well-kept century old secret that is tied in the country’s destiny and the ship keeps rocking from shore to shore and the universe keeps asking for more.
“Give me more” a distant voice screams, “give me more to accomplish my dreams” “a thousand fleets are coming to shore and they will go from door to door until the silent ape surrenders, you have been negotiating for too long and it’s time to start singing a different song, millions have died in your ship
that has sunken to the bottom of the pit, what is in it for me
except a daunting history rattled with suffering, pain, misery, and poverty. Starvation lags around the home and sleepless nights and loneliness rocks my soul in the middle of the night” he said as he paced back and forth in the house in the poorly lit room.
Morning breaks with an explosive sound sending
the petrified people running all around, the sound of airplanes were circling in the air and it caused everyone to take cover in the open space and the trees became their sanctuary and a shield of protection from hardliners atrocities, and the thing that mankind dreaded the most landed on the shore and the confusion began to mount.
Look at the forces of wind and the things that are moving within
something is planted inside the cockpit and heaven has taken a heartfelt dip, the energy was so strong that it catapult upon the land and the it submerge into the ocean floor and fear was established in his country belly, and it finally happened; the sirens keep bellowing throughout the city disrupting the people’s heartbeat and dams and rivers overflow there banks and created mayhem throughout the land.
People start running to and fro but there was no place to go
As the army marched through the street with heavy boots, long guns and the sound of missiles echoing from above; there was nowhere to hide and so the blood kept dripping from animal to man until the “Ape” evacuated from the land.
The agreement was finally sealed with a hand shake by the sea to secure the deal and we finally got the green light to leave.
