Our Last Stand
Last night in my slumber I saw destruction and death
It wasn’t caused by the riots, heroin or meth
There was no discrimination, no discernible math
It laid waste to all that stood in its path
It rained fire in the east and then quickly moved west
Many were consumed, our worst and our best
It had no empathy, it scorched much of our earth
Both the young and old died, many before birth
I had witnessed the technology of man and how it caused so much death
A simple malfunction released the dragon’s breath
We no longer stood divided, but united by one common goal
It was simply to survive and regain some sort of control
In deep sleep I saw mass destruction sweep throughout our land
But in the end it was unity that saved our last stand
