Avert It

Time is slowly creeping upon us and And an awful stench lingers in the air The smell of death surrounds us And an uncontrollable era besets us quandary is twisting its stubborn head unfurling from a vengeful distance precarious sound whistling in the breeze Dead bodies decaying in the street And the scavengers are looking for meat to eat A proliferating aura saturates the atmosphere Filtering malignant perfume everywhere Human feeding on human flesh dragging and pulling them to their death The wealthy perishing in the streets And the poor crawling on their broken feet The cracked earth could not contain them Their bleeding soul is crying out for help Severed hands and severed leg punctured skulls bleeding in the hole infant bodies littered the avenue and multitude of skeleton piled up on top of each other young women, young men grandmothers and grandfathers all succumb to a painful death The prison doors flung open and the furious prisoners break loose But one by one they fall victim to the deceptive truce The earth is on fire and the scorched birds are running for shelter But the glowing trees quickly fell on their trembling knees And the red-hot earth consumed by its own gut.
