Mushrooms of Fire

Submitted by bushido on October 5, 2008 - 17:38.

The explosions engulf
Mushrooms of fire pop up across the globe
Burning with the power of a thousand suns
Dropped on all beings
Ripping with unstable power
Snarling
Through all that exists
Buildings, trees, children
Nothing is spared
Metal melts
They rain down
Relentless
A river of blood
An explosion of debris
Perpetually increasing
By the end it does not matter who did it
Who launched the first one
Only that the shear destruction
Has cause so much pain
To those that did nothing

Mentality

Submitted by bushido on September 29, 2008 - 20:07.

Realizing the rift between your mind and actuality
People begin to lose their god damn mentality
Despite the constants of your entity that reflect reality
Your existence is so unbelievably short
And the time of nothing will knock you out of your sorts
Yet to define you looked to hard to long
I don’t believe in gods I just pray that I am wrong
Swimming though air in a cycle of being
The system thinks that what you are seeing
Is just too much
