Alien Invasion

Predator drone recording:- 6.00am The dawn sky dramatic Multi-coloured in rainbow array Mutating flares of crimson reds One portent Wednesday. Overhead the predator drone motionless Metallic silver it's planed wings and tip pointed nose Alarming to view it's presence Though reassuring to see it remain As alien activity increases In newsworthy reports of the same Covert surveillance monitoring Is commonly known Also equipped with combative technology Has this futuristic drone The troubled nations looked skywards From parliament offices, homes and schools No communication has been received or ventured As a stalemate seems to prevail At 6.30 pm on Thursday A bombardment of ferocious intensity Annihilated a mountain range Within 30 seconds as dust cleared The landscape now had changed Once where there were mountains Only a rising mushroom cloud Panic was endemic As satellite news worldwide spread. Communities in the vicinity Had collapsing buildings and the people laying injured or dead. Countless areas were targeted Cities razed to the ground People as headless chickens Madness crazed were hunted down. Total annihilation of the human race Was the aliens only goal Governments faltered and fell Young destined to never grow old. The authoritarian levels of society In bunkers down did go As the skyscrapers monopolise stood as gravestones over the crowded inhabitants below. No help could be alerted from the defence forces, ambulance or police People decided to die in their homes With loved ones silent in their grief The old order had been toppled No-one could envisage the end Then, Monday at 5.00 am An ear piercing whistling continued without restrain Ear drums were shattered No-one could withstand the pain Making everyone left suicidal that was the alien's game. They entered the Earth's stratosphere at midnight on Saturday But there was no human civilisation No-one left to positively say.
