Apocalypse

Apocalypse 

There is thunder, and lightning 
The land is laid bare
The elements doing a death dance
Destruction in a frenzied dance 

The trees trust the earth, the ground shakes
The mobile, helter skelter
The waters that give life, in spate 
Uprooting everything meant to be constant 

The lava flows here, acid rains there
The land trembles and disrupts elsewhere 
Somewhere, a tornado swipes
While the Tsunami sweeps clean existence 

The annihilation is defining 
Yet a survivor stands witness
to an apocalypse manufactured
Now has to start all over again 

The hunger, beyond the wounds, growls 
Forced to hunt anything that survived
Carrion looks inviting 
The last hunter is hunted
