From the house under the shadow of the hill
the couple lived there
for several years looked to the grassy slopes
having an inexplicable dread
that one day something to fear would descend
with no hope to defend!
Together on its summit had contentedly sat
enjoying panoramic views
open grass lands where sheep lazily grazed
everything in perfect place
then the natural order seemed to prevail
nobody believed their tale!
They went on looking and waiting for the event
as others simply ignored them
after that first slight tremor they both knew
the moment had arrived
on a bright day the sky began to go very dark
a date humans would mark!
The premature darkness passed as the huge craft
came slowly over the hill
their years of fear realised the invasion was here
most panicked and fled
waves of small craft then spewed out from within
mans nightmare would soon begin!
As the first casualties and explosions began to happen
below the nice small house
a new life began they had prepared for this eventuality
settling in their fitted bunker
where both stayed safe and unharmed until they died
the enemy the couple had defied!
Above the shattered world overrun by alien marauders
disintegrated as the enemy moved on!
