C Sharp Minor

Devoid of any living creatures,

A land of crumbled features

Earthquake-shaken, flood-ravaged,

Shattered glass scattered on the ground.


A wind sweeps by with whispers of grief,

What was once all green, now not a single leaf

Dusty browns and faded greys remain,

Not at all a wonderful sight to behold.


Buildings seem to have been crushed by trucks,

For a single one to stay intact, there was no such luck

Fresh air was a dream, trickling rivers a fantasy,

Once sturdy walls now covered in bullet holes.


Man and nature wrecked havoc in this place,

The latter a harbinger for the former to attack

Like the remnants of a corpse, these are the bare bones

Of a prosperous town of golden spoons and warm hearts.
