The Last Days of Atlantis

I also have been trying to write a story about this poem. Three children trying to cross the Island of Atlantis and get to safety. Ill see if this thing goes well first. Enjoy :D

The dark sky overhead,
fills each citizen with dread.
The waves on the shore,
draw closer and closer,
more and more.
The ground that shakes,
with fury and rage,
marks the ending of our age.

The people care no more,
the peace and humanity,
now they have abhorred.

Today is the day,
wherein our people lay,
their heads down one last time,
in regret of their crimes.

Atlantis has fallen,
into the darkness of the clouds,
and the steep and sharpness,
of the cold dark earth.

The joy and gold have diminished,
leaving nothing but,
sadness and pain,
in its place.

The people now,
struggle for their life,
fearing death like,
the tip of a knife.

They betray each other left and right,
for a chance of survival they fight.
Yet they know not,
the consequences of their actions,
for the moment they,
give up on their brotherly hold,
the moment they turn on each other,
that is the moment,
their humanity is sold.
