Amidst The Ash

They couldn't believe their eyes as the world

they once knew crumbled to the ground.

The sound of a million hearts dropping

became deafening and filled the air around.

 

The life they had become so well accustomed to

disintegrated into rubble before their very feet.

They all stood screaming to themselves

as the ash and dust rained down in sheets.

 

They looked up to the sky and held out their arms

while buildings turned in like collapsing shelves.

And suddenly they all began to turn and wander

when they realized they had created this themselves.
