Earth-Ache
A sweet dream,
Horrendous screams
Aborted.
Secret inner fears,
Now to the extreme
Ignited.
Seeking a gleam
Out in the night
I hurried.
Greed- sharpened claws,
Dripping blood
The soil deeply clenched
Dying Planet
Past glorious days helplessly
Mourned.
Droves of lost earthlings
Dark streets
Roamed
Ravenous sharks ,
biophagous marauders
I recognized
Scrumptious baitballs,
fleshy quarries
Oddly ignored
Predators and preys
For a sanctuary
They all fierily looked
Side by side
The street they sorely
lurched
Doomed
For life they desperately
Gasped
Poisonous belch
Their senses to death
Throttled.
