A catastrophic natural disaster will rock the world and destroy many parts of it (think Deep Impact, Day after Tomorrow, etc) You know it is coming in the next 24 hours and must tell as many people as possible to seek shelter and make arrangements.
In a piece of at least 30 lines with any structure or form, make your plea / warning.
Oh, and you are a schizophrenic homeless man.
Atop A Milk Crate Podium
The sky is falling!
The sky is falling!
.........Can't they see?
But a day to escape
Yet they heard around,
Carrying out their days
As if in infinite supply.
Oh, but how wrong they are!
From this curb,
My concrete piece of home,
They show me their lies
Their facades
Every step they take
Stomps their truth deeper inward
I see these truths!
Loud and clear
They hide from the world
Behind the bearers falseness
But scream at me as they walk by
Only to retreat
Back to the depths
Of a polluted soul
It matters not
They all will see soon
The horror that I know,
Will rear its ugly head
And drag this world of deceit
Into the dark desolate truth
Of nothingness
Damnation seems fitting
I must warn them still
'Tis my burden.
My screams ring out
They hear but don't listen
Atop this milk crate,
Acting as my podium,
"The Sky is Falling!
The Sky is Falling!
Don't you see? Look for yourselves!"
My cries fall on deaf ears
Only met with looks
Of both disgust and humor
They continue on,
Ignorant of the fate
That dances facetiously
To the tune of our demise
If no one will heed
Only I will remain.
The voices thrive
Off of solitude,
Thus I made public my home
Survival would be a mirage
Behind which,
My sanity waits to torture me
I cannot bare the thought
With that, I remain
Now jealous of them
For they will live blissfully
Until the end,
Until the sky falls
Whereas I knowingly await fate's touch
Here on my concrete piece of home
