"Alas Babylon"

This came in my head as I was trying to sleep. Now, with it out of my feverish head, I may get some rest tonight.

"Alas Babylon"

Alas Babylon! The rockets fly.
Across the bright blue sky.
Alas Babylon! The rockets soar.
The Earth will be an empty core.
A thousand silent screams
As death flashes on screens.
Hope becoming intangible.
Hatred is now unmanageable.
Chaos loaded into a cylinder.
Bang! Another slain villager.
Fires of anger burn bright
As peace fades into the night.
No more paradise in the city.
Empty wallets asking for pity
Served hand pins and anthrax
Filling up all the empty caskets.
Censorship broadcast over waves
Media thinks we’ll bow like slaves.
Bombs destroying places of worship
As missiles are armed on warships.
A change in the political system
May lead to a radioactive ecosystem.
Rants are shared across the internet.
As the world mocks our government.
Alas Babylon! Sky will glow red.
In a bright flash, we will be dead.
Alas Babylon! The sky will burn.
Who will take the first turn?
