hellblazer #13 (on the beach)

so these are words taken from the comic book its named after. credit to jamie delano for making it sound so lyrical in the first place

CRASH, YOU B******S!

we can't afford to keep the planet clean

but we can afford toys for the boys

if you close your eyes and keep still

you can be invisible

we're all doomed

entire species flying off to hell

somebody stop the world

i'm scared and want to get off

i want to fly, high, confident and free

i want to soar, shouting into the mouth of tomorrow

i want to gaze into the suns buring eye

for in this world, there are dragons hatching

splitting their shells, screaming with incandescent cries

fire tongues slashing like a razor fight

they lick the world to cinders

hurling our dreams, broken burned and bloody

down to the trembling earth

screaming - 

CRASH, YOU B******S!

crash!

fear-frozen, wordless

we stand numb as the New Beast streaches its wings

like curtains over the sky    

    the sun

    the light

smothered in the chill of night

we seek out eachothers warmth

i've stayed out long enough to see what happens when the tide turns

now i want to run for home

to gallop wildly into the past

through rain, wind and weather

with you by my side

hide

close your eyes

become invisible
