Darkness On the Horizon

The world's in chaos
no space is safe
everywhere one turns
tis a violent place
No peace, no safety
only anguish and strife
conditions have worsened
become the way of life
The world's so different 
since way back when
life was simple, pleasant
everyone was "friend"
lest we get back to that time of olde
if violence be the trend
our future world looms on the edge
to mankind's brought on end
