None of them realised what lay beneath
in the nebulous caverns below
created by the incalculable mining shafts
zigzagging beneath the ground
where repulsive creatures had nested
unknown now totally infested!
The heavy rain caused saturation of fields
weakening the infrastructure
few realised the fragile surface eroding
existing in their daily routines
unaware of the approaching catastrophe
of which none could foresee!
Not in recorded history had it been so bleak
floods engulfed communities
rainfall increased authorities unable to cope
water seeping up from below
thinking the situation could not get worse
their position became perverse!
The ground beneath their feet now gave way
and the population fell into hell
the rout of humankind an unexpected horror
soon they would discover
those who had survived the brutal carnage
faced a demonic rampage!
Laying injured beasts spawned in darkness
rapidly violated their flesh
hiding out of the light as those able to move
ran blindly in every direction
but they were overwhelmed by the specter
of life were no respecter!
Some managed to reach the surface for help
received by military forces
who were preparing a major rescue attempt
uncertain of what to expect
before entering into the hostile environment
cautiously made their descent
Soon confronting beasts of an unknown origin
agile in the mud and blackness
unprepared for the battles and horrors to follow
thousands perished that first day
as the soldiers hurriedly retreated from a real hell
of which few survived to tell!
Not mythical flesh-eating fiends but an uncontrollable evil
festered beneath their feet!
The Foureyed Poet.
