The Rapture of Manhattan

The entire island of Manhattan is being swiftly raptured by a heavenly force, the Harbor is badly shaken... it seems that Judgement Day has come as prophesied; there Lady Liberty still holds her torch, before it's gone! If this vision is true fiction, how awful the real event will be with Lady Blind Justice and Lady Fairness with a set of scales; they are standing on the terrestrial globe to warn the stubborn Human race, which has contributed to this state of chaos...defiling morality and honesty! So terrified are the seagulls that called this haven their home, a real bliss; the Big Apple's greatness has vanished from sight...like everything else; Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the ocean, Manhattan's wealth is taken back by the Almighty to punish the evil ones, and reward the just! Entered in Carolyn Devonshire's contest, " Phoenix Rising "
