retribution

the vanquished were mocked
humiliated
their graves were unmarked
memory erased

that day space was scarred
it wept silently
time too held its breath 
in stench of decay

womb of Mother Earth 
became infertile
Schumann’s resonance
dropped its frequency

the sun dimmed its light
moonlight became grey
birds no longer sang
with doomsday looming
