Sonnet 18

These are the days and times of ending years
Where man has made his move away from God
Walking in darkness he no longer hears
The cherubim that sing heavens ballade
In darkness he delights himself to dream
Of wars that wash the earth with blood, thus such
Foul actions grow while deaf to natures scream
Destroying earth and all made of pure touch
Les man should fold his ego that's unfurled
To obey laws above a higher crown
Soon days will come when raindrops fill the world
And death will float and all alive will drown
Thou giveth man each herb and bearing seed
And over land dost man over herb bleed

We heard from the Cape, that orders have been given
For we must retaliate, our enemies to be driven

To be circling the earth on this fateful day
No contact with our loved ones, as the atoms below us play

The feeling as we orbit as we watch the vapour trails
Explosions so unbelievable, watching nations on earth impaled

Mushroom clouds expand whilst their sonics resonate
Like ripples on the water they drift freely interstate

Atomic atmosphere abounds, for the earth we cannot see
Mans history in modern warfare, was always intended to be

Us seven on the Shuttle now orbiting for half a year
View many changes on our planet, when we land what do we fear

Scrambled messages we have received, telling us where to land
Remembering the day when we left, we never could have planned

Our destination advised, to the Salt Flats of Utah now set
Six months orbiting the heavens, being spared heartfelt regret 

From what we viewed above, to the landing site we head
Touching down we're met by officials, what we're told is not easily said

A rogue faction had triggered an attack, the outcome, Atomic War
I can't begin to tell you my thoughts, for man, I begin to abhor

We are taken to Los Angele's, suited to protect from the fall
Passing carnage so indescribable, witnessing mans eventual appal

Where once stood icons, that thrived with modern life
Now stand tattered and jagged torn, irradiated in atomic strife

Shadows of the former, silhouette where they fell
Children, families and individuals show fear in deadened yell

Skeletal shapes lie spread, whilst little life shows face
As we pass past twisted wreckage, viewing mans disgrace

Sporadic spotlights shine, as if clearing to start anew
Looking back as we reach our destination, a city in war torn spew

We turn to each other in silence, viewing but we can't comprehend
Such an intelligent form of life, can take us to disaster send

Warrior

Back to where it all begun;
where nature burned and fighters sprung.
The birth of travelers and unknown tyrants,
and unseen starters of killing riots,
the earth movers which made loud fires,
the wall breeders that smelled out liars.
They didn't crawl to live, but dug out their deaths;
conceived out of their graves and into the depths;
battles and loss, the earth was feeding on only blood;
spilled from disagreements or negotiations gone wrong. 
But who ever lived never won, they kept on going for their strength was never strong.
No rulers within them, for they do not follow, they keep on going 'till there is no 'morrow.
