I Survived.................

The flames rose high,
And devoured the world,
Bricks and stones,
And flesh and bones,
Charred and scorched,
Wane to nihility,
Structures which once
Invade the skies,
Now bite the dust,
As they descend
To the chasms.
Where stood once
Men and women,
Ambitions and hopes,
Fears and denial,
Now lie reticent.
But I among them all,
Faced the worst,
As fate conspired,
And handed me over,
The tearing trauma,
And life of gloom,
Of all the victims,
Of the callous reaper,
I was the one,
Who survived the day.
