It took place on a thundrous night
when the heavens opened wide
We all ran out to see the lights
In a tidal wave we cried

No one could believe their eyes
as we wandered in the street
All petty news now out of sight
Each face as white as sheet

It wasn't known where they came from
another star they said
It wasn't fair what then went down

The raising of the dead.

very good read much like my own work on a dark scale but in a different style well worth the time spent to write it please keep up the good work.

scary stuff Allan, got shivers running down my spine! Brilliantly written as usual! And
an interesting subject too.

Thanks both!
Actually this one was a real quickie!

Yes by all means raise the dead, I've got many friends there.
great stuff guy.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
