Melting Into Dreams
An atomic sun ignites;
in a flash of intense light.
And life's incinerated;
as ash turns day into night.
Under a blistering sky,
plastic toys melt into dreams.
And reality resounds;
with echoes of children's screams.
As heaven morphs into hell,
thunder responds with a roar.
And people huddle in fright;
scared of what Death has in store.
St. Elmo's fire lights the tombs;
in the city of the dead.
And muffled moans can be heard;
amidst the anguish and dread.
Helpless, the world turns to prayers,
as humanity cringes.
And misery enshrouds souls
surviving at life's fringes.
Nuclear fallout raining down;
irradiates humankind.
And Winter gets set to stay;
while Summer lags far behind.
