Don't you hear?

Just a little something I thought of after watching "Forgotten World."

Don't you hear the beat of the war drums?

They thunder through this land.

They mark a change

That is coming.

Don't you hear the beast stirring?

It claws and fangs are ready

For the unsuspecting prey.

The blood lust consumes it.

Don't you hear the screams?

The woeful cry out in terror,

The tortured shrill their pain,

And the wrathful shout their rage.

Don't you feel the storm brewing?

The waves are rising up,

The sky is darkening,

And the thunder boasts is strength.

Don't you hear the dead waking?

They are calling out

For what they deserve.

Their souls can not rest.

Don't you hear it all?

Atlas is beginning to grow weak.

The world is about to fall

Into the ever dark abyss.

Powerful words told of great sadness.
"Don't you hear it all?
Atlas is beginning to grow weak.
The world is about to fall
Into the ever dark abyss."
The scary part is. The words are non-fiction in this modern world. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

It paints a vivid picture for sure. Certainly interesting.

It reminds me a lot of the book of Revelations. Good imagery dude, nice work.
