Shattered

Shattered

A Poem by Teddy Westley Graham
"

"Your soul is like glass. Once it is shattered that is it. Who you were can never be you again. But with the pieces you can make something even more beautiful." ~ Teddy Westley Graham

"

I hear them approach
The trumpeters sound the warning
The first night has come
It brings Pestilence with it
Disease that rots the flesh of the living
Those who die quickly are lucky
Those who survive must suffer 
Leviathan’s minions eat the dead
Family and friends lie dead or dying around me
I see the white horse in the distance

I hear them approach
The trumpeters sound the warning
The second night has come
It brings war with it
War that is mass slaughter
Woman and children killed in their sleep
Towns and cities destroyed 
Girls raped on the streets
Streets that run red with blood
Satan’s pets devour the innocent
Family and friends lie dead or dying around me
I see the red horse in the distance

I hear them approach
The trumpeters sound the warning
The third night has come
It brings Famine with it
Children cry from starvation
Men and women devour their friends
Beelzebul’s laughter echoes in my head
Family and friends lie dead or dying around me
I see the black horse in the distance

I hear them approach
The trumpeters sound the warning
The forth night has come
Death has finally come
The reaper swallows the world in darkness
Hell comes to earth
Those who have survived so far must now suffer
The worst of all fates 
Lucifer with earth as his thrown
My family lies dead
My friends with them
I watch the pale horse walk in to the sunset
I have survived the four horsemen
But my punishment has just begun…
