The World Suddenly Blind
I woke up this morning in a blackout
To the sound of neighbours frantic
Felt the warth of sunshine, but lights out
To the deafening screams of panic
I fell out of bed, dead on the cement floor
I could feel the walls surround me with chaos
The alarm triggered to the bashing on the door
Whatever it was, it had no remorse
Was it is some sort of new mutated virus
That overnight attacked the human retina?
Nothing was spared, it was ominous
We had no time to react to this phenomina
Explosions heard as airplanes fell from the skies
Random gunfire followed cries in the blindness
Suicidal thoughts flooded minds and eyes
Then suddenly, silence, complete deafness
