|As the Salt Settles|
Eric, 15 years old
Stole a cellphone from the local Radio Shack
A deep, overcoming feeling is sought upon him
As a luscious scar unfolds, parting his timid skin
Marry, 17 years old
Ran away from home
As her Mother’s worry for her grows stronger
The twelve painless cuts on her body grow larger
Nathan, 42 years old
As his ex-wife elevates in economy
His seven teen lethal incisions plead for escalading negativity

Welcome to Earth.

Answers followed by beginnings collided throughout my mind
Capacity overflowing with devilish stigmatic signs
Cleanly, my plate of armor covers the truth
As a cold case sleeps attentively, waiting for proof
My head moves upwards, willingly I raise my hellious shield
The grass dead – now green, in this multi cellular field
Like heaven, the sun stretched across the sentimental sky
Beauty met beauty, emotional exaggeration ordering me to cry
But we can’t, as humanity stares aimlessly above
Clouds shrieked ember red embroidery; feverish love
A hysterical hush swept every nation’s choking-alive lungs
Heavily sedated from astronomical knowledge silently sung
The atmosphere swirled, and clouds dwelled cavelike
Increasing tension like liquid mercury fused with dislike
No one felt one emotion, although intensified rage assembled up high
While slits of back pay formed on our uncleansed eyes
Presence of light pushed and belated materialistic ugly
Unnamed routes of phenomena aroused suddenly
We have buried ourselves on top the wrong beneath
With no adrenaline I felt mother earth hectically preach
The world had once been a soft piece of metaphorical gum
But we’ve chewed it up, spit it out, now tragic it has become
Hard is the look of humanity’s blind sight
Biting through corrupt visions, just to live another blind night
The sky went blank, for a minute I felt remorse
This was power only tamed by the highest source
Creatively, the atmosphere twinkled bright with self preservation
But these minds felt harassed, a taste of our own medication
Scars burnt purple, gamma rays blazed sin,
As the scars already formed and newly forming incisions tore open
Opening widely, like newborns screaming; awaiting attention
The clouds grew heavy as waves of brain spelt intervention
Feeling a drip of, rain? On my agitated frame
The, rain? Now singed causing unexplained pain
Faster, repetitively, salt rained down from above
Now I was awake, I had now seen what we had become
Like a sandstorm the salt barreled down, how much could we sustain?
Screeching and screaming, the world turning awfully insane
Oceans of aching crys, desceptance ravished images of bleak
Why me, I yelled with undertones of silence in my speech
Bodily features now tortured and trapped refugees
Air turned to salt, now salt was only what I could breathe
Puking it up, then swallowing amounts vividly fatal
No word could describe this feeling, like a restless murderous tornado
Blinding my overdrive I strive to reach an alibi
What – no, who was behind this unthinkable demise
I look above; the endless siege of salt comes to a halt
Now in the distance was a tiny morsel; hard to make out
A shiny piece of salt, last one to be subdued
Although this one had a twinkle to it, apocalyptically tattooed
Like magnets we’re glued to the surface
Approaching now was the tiny spec of salt; I’m growing nervous
Closer and closer the spec trickled down
Larger and larger, renewal reaching the morbid ground
Now panic struck me greater than ever before
I tried to escape, but abominable fear crept at my door
As the salt settles – into my skin, I watch the shape grow near
My shadow now overcome by a crystal; clear
Warning? Hell no this was consequences deemed to us plagued
Now seconds away, was the answer now fazed
Cascading upon us all; pupils infinitely alert
- An asteroid of salt
Humanity now a clean cut rebirth
