W.M.D.

What is out there?
Up in the sky?
Tv news show a warning!
BOOM!! What was that?!
BOOM, BOOM!! Houses gone!

What the hell is going on!?
Again and again, they fall and
fall. Looking like red balloons
flying in the sky.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I'm left
alone, all walls blown down.
Dirt and debris on my face.

Hello?

Hello?

Where did the red balloons go?

Alone.

Author notes

I don't know where this came from...Kind of based off Nena's 99 Red Balloons.
