Darkening Skies

Crystal blue skies was once visible
In a world without anything formidable.
Opponents were partners and villains weren’t wicked;
No crimes had been committed.
But through the years the blue skies began dimming;
The end was now the beginning.

The skies had darkened by malevolence
As the crystal pieces broke away the benevolence.
Shards of glass rained from these falling skies.
Lives were easily taken and it was sounded by cries.
Battles were fought; blood was shed.
What was once peaceful had become dead �"
Innocence was no longer carried;
They had a shovel and it was buried.
Tyranny exiled happiness.
War left people defenseless,
Stranded to fight alone without anything.
Cruelty had killed them before the ending.

Their worst fears had crippled them.
Breathless, lying still, eyes toward the sky: they’re condemned.
Forced to watch the ashes of loved one fill the clouds
With embers cascading down as the sirens grew loud;
Souls flickering within the dust.
From the pressure of war, they had been crushed,
Remaining alone to suffer a hell so powerful.
They wish they could be hopeful.
Who will be their savior?
Who will be like no other, someone greater?
They pray for a safe haven,
Where the cruelty will end when they’re taken.

From the constant abuse they’ve endured,
They fear it will carry on continue to be injured.
Like children taught without light,
How can they have such a lively sight?
They must pray and they must fight what they can’t see,
And what is there is what’s internal, they just have to see.
