They Came For Us - Act 1

Through out the world the skies turned to black Our oceans and seas were in turmoil from slack The clouds grew stormy as the rains lashed down Worldwide monsoon, many areas in drown On CNN, many reporters are live This phenomena of nature fills our skies When suddenly a news flash appears on our screen Lights through the clouds are in worldwide seen Massive spaceships fill the clearing skies As the world looks on in despair and surprise They slowly descend as an opening appears Shuttles so many, is this the start of our fears Above us they hover as still as can be These crafts from out there as we await and see A column of light beams down to earth In radius so large in sunlight girth As i look down on the streets people are holding their ears They all look like their screaming, eyes in tears Then suddenly they stand like soldiers to attention As i witness this scene i am too dumb to mention I look down and wonder at the views that i see As it suddenly dawns why its not happening to me I am deaf and dumb, and have been from birth An affliction till now, it now seems so worth The shuttles that hovered, now all appear to land Their doors are now opening is this what they planned Down on the streets they all look as if tranced As they turn to the shuttles in shuffling advance By the hundreds they disappear into their dark Taking of when full, beside the light they embark I watch this unfold many many times again Is this the end of us, humans earth reign This tragic event goes on for days As our population streams i look on in dismay What can i do where do i turn Do they take what they can, and to where and return http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-12.php

Very scary scene you depict here. I am glad this is just fantasy, James. However there is definitely a severe struggle going on in the world today. Very well written quatrain. I'll be reading act 2. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Caroline.

Did you see the movie "Knowing," James? I can't help but think of it as I read this. Going to check out the conclusion of this compelling saga. Love, Carolyn
