Armageddon is upon us,
according to all reports
Pitting all in heaven against hell,
the final holy war of sorts
Fire and brimstone fill the sky,
you can hear the people lament
Be it Satan or God himself,
as for the reasons that it was sent
The Angels clash in battles fought,
death come from hand to hand
They blacken the earth, then scorch the skies,
murder fills the land
It’s genocide that’s roaming free,
the streets and rivers run red
Armies march over man and beast,
they burn the bodies dead
Deep within the bowels of hell,
the devil beams with pride
With cruelty and torture, rape and ridicule,
there’s no place left to hide
Once famed heavens pearly gates,
are fractured and blood stained
The house of commons in the clouds,
now only ruins remain
Attrition takes a deadly toll,
only the strongest do fight on
But the wreckage left at conflicts edge,
will show itself at dawn
The massacre of all mankind,
fixed in the bloody throes of war
Has left our home a lifeless grave,
to see our kind no more

Thanks for entering my contest. A violent, angry and vengeful to the earth and heaven broken and bloodied. Good luck in the contest.
