Sooner or later, it all comes crumbling down
Ancient Vengeance coming back around

 

Stabbed by the blade of arrogance,
Forever cursed to scar you hence

 

Ancient protectors, long since dead,
Cannot stop them from taking your head

 

Cities fall, and people too
To the unnamed wrath that’s hunting you

 

Men, women and children alike,
All will fall to their fearful might

 

But if a hero should arise,
Then no more will we hear the cries

 

Of terror or sorrow or mortal fear,
For we will know, our victory will be near

 

But if that hero shall die,
Our victory will slip right by

 

Sand turned to glass,
Genocide come to pass

 

Blood staining the ground,
Corpses making no sound

 

And at the end, a solar eclipse
To mark the final day of the apocalypse

This poem is a what you call a couplet that started out as just another Reading and Writing project, as I'm sure we've all done at one point or another, but soon morphed into something I'm proud of and want to share. Like if you enjoy reading it and be sure to check out my shape poem coming up soon!
