I awoke screaming
Into the nightmare of reality
Where few survived.

Even fewer had
the will to live
in a ravaged world
where acrid, swirling
murk was our only
heritage.

The product of greed.

Where are the men
of vision?
Saviour of mankind?

Gone,in the caustic
winds of nuclear
vengeance.

This is great! I would love to address this to sooo many poignant people in our World today. Too often greed causes the pursuit of something at first thought to be great, only to discover it a curse upon our own humanity.

Beautifully written

A powerful write, Maggie.

Brings to mind the biblical verses pertaining to "The Seven Seals".

Written in modern language of course

Thanks,

An exhausted generation with nothing to look forward to and no one to look up to.

through the ravages of sleeplessness lies the comfort of the night
