The END!

As the reckless zigzag bloodstream
Shot across the sky
The thunder will boom with anger
Cracking the sky in half
the sound is deafening,
blinding &horrifying
us small and defenceless humans bow down before it.
The depression hits you like a bullet &
drains through you like a sieve
possessing your body and dragging you to your knees.
The flash of light runs through the blackness
Letting you know it’s the END!
