Apocalypse green

Perspective is everything

Saturday out in a field

Family standing side by side

Knowing not what's to come

Soon cut down from their lives

A thunderous roar

Spiralling winds

The beast has come to rise

Across the horizon

The chaos heard

Seeing the bodies fly

A smell in the air

Staining all the cloth

A murder spree unreal

The death machine

Unrelenting fury

Riding along on four wheels

The reaper silhouette is seen

Changing direction with each pass

What a tragedy to see

From the perspective of the grass

About the Creator

Leonidas Nikiforuk

Of all the things I enjoy writing about, my honest self is certainly not one of them.

I'm inspired by the great stoics, various storytellers, drunks at a bar, and random conversations while strangers and I share a wait time.
