Earth turning, people changing -
Growing up.
Loss of innocence, purity
Childhood disappearing, gone forever.
Where is the safety net?
SUPRISE!
Shock, disbelief, horror -
No, no,
Go back, go back!
Colours bleeding, shapes scattering,
The present has broken down.
Can't cope, can't cope
Must go back to yesterday.
A whisper, a whimper, a shout -
An anguished cry:
"NO!
We're too young!"
Whirling imagination,
Shrinking away.
Screams echo through minds' passages,
Not enough space.
Walls closing in,
Not enough time.
Can't hide - trapped!
Rivers of tears,
Cowering, defenseless youth.
Can't escape, life is coming -
It's already here.
Terror, red and raw,
A roar with howling winds,
Stripped bare
Nothing but bones.
Teeth cut bloody ribbons,
Emotions bubbling, boiling, escaping -
FEAR!
Fear and a flash of flesh.
Not a new world,
Just a new hell.
