all the world's asleep
some stragglers of the norm lie awake
not sure of what theyre waiting for, but still, they wait
they lie in bed, clutching their sheets, afraid for what tommorow will bring
these are the men and the women that falsify the belief in the american dream
yet, in reality, the american dream consists of a very violent ending to a dreary story
2:15 am, 2012
a faint rumbling is heard in the distance
none yet those who have the sharpest of hearing rise to it
all the others in the little country have no knowlege of it whatsoever
as the rumbling becomes a more deafening boom, they rise from their humble abodes
2:30 am, 2012
fear washes through those of them that are old enough to understand
jealously comes over those that realize that they will have to see it, feel it
rage consumes those who believe that the impending actions are not fair to them
sadness washes over those who do not understand the next step in life, or lack thereof
2:45 am, 2012
it is times such as these, that the true colors of all people show themselves
the ugly truthes hidden deep inside one another rear their ugly heads
many see this as the last time that they will be able to say everything that they have wanted to
nothing will be hidden now, people think
it is interesting that in the face of an imminent threat, people release all feelings
3:00 am, 2012
with a whistling overhead, the people of the land have just enough time to look up
and within a millisecond, their future is upon them
6:00 pm, 2012
the first of the lucky few start to stir
every breath they take of the toxic air seems to feel as heavy as their first in life
yet as light as their last
they lie as they were when it first started, taking in the first signs of life they didnt expect to see
the only thing to do now is to start life over
everything you ever knew, anything that ever was, is now just a faint memory
a faint memory that eventually, like your past, will fade
Day 1, 9:00 am, 2012
little children, playing along the ruined lands
searching for what will never be found
the life they once had, or knew
they will always search
yet never find
life is gone
forever.
