before the darkness falls

by Rain_Girl

The stars disappear as the buildings grow The world overheats and melts the snow The land was once green but now it is grey Soft plastic kills the fish in the bay The clothes in the shops are made of junk The men at the pub are getting drunk The mask blocks my mouth from the viruses reach We stand 1.5 metres apart The fire on the mountain is raging strong The birds no longer sing their song The winds come quicker, sooner, hotter Near the woolies in town I see a squatter The words that I hear are rough and mean The eyes of the children are locked on screens The algorithms grab us and pull us in Put the money in the pokies until you win It is time for the world to change Before the darkness falls
