Left Behind

Cries fill the night
People lost to fright
Confusion rules land
So many gone , no one can understand
They were there then they were gone ,just a bink of an eye
Planes start falling from the sky
Cars crashes as more people die
People praying, but much to late
 Only thing for dinner is an empty plate
Darkening of the cloud
Trumpets blowing so loud
Earth starts turning forever night
Country blaming country each start to fight
No food for one to eat
Mankind kneels in defeat
No more is the world we knew
How swiftly the body count  grew
Mankind slew and slew
For food and drink a 
place to sleep
Till no one left alive to weep
Death all around 
Of a heart beat there was not a sound
No one left here to find
 Of all those left behind
