Before the storm

Before the storm
Lush green covered the Earth
Fertile foundation
Hungry and healthy

Before the storm
The sky was clear
Bright, illuminating Spears of light
Hurled down
From the heavens themselves
To show us the way

Before the storm
There was a Peace
A boring Stable Dome of peace
Sheltering tall Over us all

During the storm
Vegetation Suffocating
Under the grip of Smog
Vicious & putrid

During the storm
The skies burning
On fire ever so hot
Rain was unable to escape

Smoke & brimstone
Blocked out of Heaven's reach

After the storm
What remains unclear
Although the scales weigh
Heavy In favor
Of damages Unreparable
And hope lost
