Doomsday Vestiges Apocalyptic images, sickening grimaces, what planet is this? Homes burning, stomachs churning, loved ones yearning For the lost souls

Terror Pervading Soldiers raiding, structures cascading, hopes are fading Symbols crumbled, bodies jumbled, humanity has stumbled Into madness

A Nation’s Pain Deeply felt, fellow humans hearts melt Fear and dread, so many dead, a rage of red Runs through my head

Those who paid with their lives today, I salute them. For them, I will pray, And lay a wreath, a poetic bouquet

On This Clear, Blue, 24th Day
