How do we define a human beings life
that seems to click into place
is sweetness and bright without strife
others only nightmares do face
maybe earth for some a Heaven state
many Hell just misery and hate!
The rest live in a struggling neutral mode
juggling their burdens and heavy load
who are just able to live not thrive
hardships for billions who do not survive!

The engine purred it was highly tuned
pristine so shiny the red beast
along side a green car with tinted glass
both poised on the open road
a girl stood holding red handkerchief
jumping with such excitement
hundreds there shouting making a din
ready for the illegal race to begin!
As her arm dropped with a sharp thrust
engines roared wheels spinning
smell of burnt rubber soon out of sight
speeds now exceeded a ton
down the public highway eyes fixated
the law these speeders hated!
Their paths blocked as they approached
passing pedestrians scattered
too often other motorists compromised
by adrenaline pumping youth
risking their lives and others for the thrill
lacking common sense and skill!
After night falls on any long straight roads
teenage racers will gather
to break the law to show off and display
their customized chariots
for them no rules just drive like bloody hell
boasting videos and stories to tell!
Living for the moment upon social media!

Alone abandoned the house was so stark
empty so long a tale to unfold
nothing moved very unwelcoming dark
a faded sign read property sold
what they would find there no telling
embroiled within this dwelling!
Noises had often been reported from inside
the stagnant air had a foul smell
murders within always had been denied
rumored another gateway to hell
nefarious building was a real abomination
they entered with deep trepidation!
It stood like a blot on surrounding lands
as the group of teenagers stared
jointly plotting rubbing their cold hands
had to investigate a decision shared
the group of four all were aged nineteen
focused to go as eyes watched unseen!
Hesitant to cross a line held hands outside
some distance from their addresses
laughed with a perverse fun none did hide
what waited in the deserted homestead
with torches on and their cameras to hold
soon found it had become very cold!
Daringly now in the garden were glaring
a touch of arrogance in thinking
headed towards house triumph sharing
focused eyes not blinking
the four neared door it was eerily still
the girls turned pale they felt ill!
An ineffable odour made them all halt
from then their actions defined
with fortitude pushed on with assault
suddenly a tree root entwined
tightly around two fell to the ground
slime oozed from a dirt mound!
Seemed an eternity fighting an unseen foe
drained and aching escaped the trees
instantly came into their view a large crow
breathless as if their lungs squeezed
frightened and stressed glanced around
as door burst open without a sound!
Feet heavy the four wanted to turn back
the stench was in the air once more
shadowy figures rushed at them to attack
strange sensation then a mighty roar
where the spectres came from none knew
door slammed trapped a weird glow!
Backs against wall as surging green glow
preservation forced the girls to run
as they successfully bypassed the object
this adventure was no longer fun
yelling as rotten timber floor gave way
crashing to the cellar into dank clay!
In darkness tried struggling to their feet
a new sickening odour entered each nose
the lads had falling to luckily had a torch
heard a constant beat as the evil rose
scrambling up rickety stairs reached top
floor beneath did with no warning drop!
Cellar door not locked clinging in grime
eerie sounds made atmosphere sour
a pulse made it shake in rhythmic time
had released a force gaining power
something had them trapped in a tomb
as their minds it began to consume!
Still crawling energy being sucked away
floor collapsed behind and below
a blinding flash then could see light of day
death close it grabbed Jacks leg a blow
unable to help they were propelled outside
a stroke of luck but their mate had died!
The house became a fire-ball and did implode
to close the three lay bloody on earth
barely able to move towards fence then road
so hot yet relieved felt like rebirth
such awful sounds from below they just cried
horrified just a hole what evil lived inside?
One week later back in silence on the spot
where they first viewed the dwelling
nothing there but foul ooze from the plot
none recovered the trauma telling
remembering and mourning their mate
thankful it was also not their fate!
Loud rumbling from below could be heard
as remaining shrubs disappeared
the only noise now a black squawking bird
each filled with a renewed fear
another bang the ground opened wide
in a split second they vanished inside!
Had not escaped the wrath that consumed
this unhallowed cursed ground
anybody trespassing here were doomed
no bodies were ever found!
Was this the end or just the first chapter?

The screen is blank nothing works anymore
so many did not believe it would happen
the end was not by any nuclear or alien war
but by a complete computer network hack
everything just stopped life was suspended
as chaos on human life rapidly descended!
Everything was manipulated by the computers
water electricity and gas supplies halted
planes trains even the driverless cars useless
it brought living to the finality end of days
from a society though corrupt was operational
to becoming one of being totally dysfunctional!
The cooling systems in the power stations stopped
every one of them becoming critical and exploding
spewing radiation into an already contaminated air
sewage filled the oceans and disease was rife
every screen was like staring into the pits of hell
as the nations turned on each other and fell!
Those with foresight somehow managed to last longer
but could only stay underground for a certain time
not having the facilities or organisation of the elite
who found themselves defeated by their miscalculations
a destructive virus causing an irrevocable shutdown
in the end like us all in their own filth did drown!
In despair I end my message as life is sustainable no more!
TheFoureyedPoet.
A huge explosion that knocked him down
forcibly hitting the marble wall
no warning given as the building shattered
around him deafened by the blast
vomiting and gasping from dust and smoke
began to think he would choke!
In the hotel lobby with friends and others
guests and staff happily talking
such a headache and pain in both his legs
was quickly able to stand
disorientated he almost fell on a body part
as the scene tried to depart!
Ears ringing blinded by his pouring blood
through thick pulverized concrete
saw a glimmer of light as more explosions
were occurring far above him
a fireman came helping him out into sunlight
quickly removing him from the site!
From a vantage point inside an ambulance
he watched the skyscraper
disintegrate before his aching sore eyes
ground shook dust engulfed
once busy roads hidden in a deathly smog
that their lungs did clog!
After he had witnessed this appalling carnage
he quickly lost consciousness
the enormity of this major event developed
as a shocked world watched
a mystery still remains as other buildings fell
on that day it felt they were in hell!
He never woke up one more victim added to the many!
Still today it is assumed terrorists this act did invoke!
Could This Really Have Happened?
#TheFoureyedPoet.
It had been a beautiful relaxing day
unfamiliar rumbles irritating
she thought was a distant storm
sat watching television
her phone vibrated on silent mode
more than normally glowed!
The air within her neat home crackled
electric shocks made her wince
it was not an ordinary day she knew
bright fork like lightning exploded
wrecking the area in which she resided
what with her world had collided?
Like a pulse wave electricity had gone
as craft appeared in the skies
now filling the once blue cloudless space
planes crashed to the ground
a crescendo of ear-splitting sounds
upon her sanity pounds!
Then creatures swamped the landscape
overwhelming any resistance
as people were eliminated from earth
predictions were ignored
nobody believed it could be a fact
with aliens to really interact!
So many movies and television dramas
bombarding us with CGI
apathetic to the chance it was a warning
this was a coming threat
until the moment of the actual event
when humanity to hell was sent!
All communication with earth lost!
#TheFoureyedPoet.
The Queue of exhausted starving people
snaked back over many streets
edging its way along at a snail’s pace
just to receive a loaf of bread
soldier patrolled showing no respect
had no choice but to accept!
Once smart clothes shabby and worn
but wore an identity label
nobody talked or dared show emotion
money had become worthless
for the once working classes despair
their dignity stripped bare!
Marshall law stopped looting and riots
money had no value anymore
towns and cities lay in ruins and gutted
from fires and bomb damage
the stench of sewage death and smoke
made everybody choke!
The rich had been hidden safely away
in vast walled enclaves
their lives protected and unaffected
looking down like gods
upon the now decimated population
in a world of damnation!
But within this prophesy created hell
a brilliant light on a young man fell!
The Foureyed Poet.
From the gentle clear blue sky
it changed in an instance
angry red clouds were forming
a crescendo of loud booms
shook the ground beneath me
yet nowhere to flee!
No longer that peaceful haven
familiar places burnt
searing and incandescent heat
choking smoke displaced
that sweet exhilarating pure air
in the blinding glare!
From a tranquil picturesque scene
into an image of a hell
no warning of impending conflict
upon this scorched earth
life eradicated profuse projectiles
of deadly nuclear missiles!
Then darkness filled the heavens
the survivors cowered
most dying of radiation poisoning
as the cycle had started
on a human race that never learned
the ancient planet still turned!
Those who had instigated Armageddon
the selected few hid below
in large underground secure cities
feeling safe and detached
from the carnage upon the surface
eradication of the human race!
Is this another conspiracy theory?
The Foureyed Poet.
They lived in a small rural community
each were related
growing their own food blissfully free
proud of their labour
pure delight in what they had achieved
in one another believed!
Established when the land was colonised
many had perished here
during a long battle to secure the district
lush and green so fertile
until one day unnoticed high in the sky
an unmarked plane did fly!
Trails that at first seemed like vapour
but never faded away
as chemicals were being sprayed out
that fell onto those below
absorbed by the rich cultivated soil
where the families did toil!
Also breathed into the lungs of the folk
penetrating their cells
undetectable they were contaminated
every living creature
succumbed to the chemicals deployed
the community soon destroyed!
Unable to explain why crops withered
they became seriously ill
over a few months the area deserted
those pioneers now history
why never knew thought an act of god
did not think it was odd!
That from the open skies chemicals fell
turning paradise into hell!
The Foureyed Poet.
The hospital dated back to the Victorian era
now it looked shabby and grey
threatened many times with closing down
reduced to a minor injury unit
doors always locked soon after night fell
some thought a portal of hell!
Also notorious for the delivery of corpses
who had untimely deaths
in the eighteenth century there was a need
by surgeons bodies sought
prepared to pay cash without any question
by the so-called medical profession!
Certainly had an unwelcoming appearance
dark eerie long passages
to walk along lit spots never to go near
staff had rooms to avoid
where unexplained phenomena took place
and nobody wanted to retrace!
Patients were reluctant to go there or stay
being dark and oppressive
scared behind the curtains a monster hid
freezing made your skin crawl
a woman trapped one night found it true
all about this she knew!
Arrived just before dark shown to a cubicle
waited but nobody came
situated down a narrow corridor worried
when into darkness plunged
the curtain shook could feel it swish near
a touch and whisper did hear!
Got up quickly disadvantaged not able to see
who was there called out
no reply her eyes grew accustomed to the dark
pulling curtain right back
could see nobody touching the peeling wall
moved trying not to fall!
Just able to make out the shape of an exit door
tried hard not to panic
from behind a bang her heart missed a beat
as the amplified sound
vibrated through the air felt cold on her hand
as an object beside did land!
Losing her balance falling over a row of chairs
but staying on her feet
certain somebody was standing very close by
reaching for the handle
just as a streak of light passed by her head
from pale white to red!
Pushing the door ran through to afraid to look
now stood in the reception area
with nobody to be seen began hyperventilating
headed for the main exit
as another object thrown bounced on the floor
saw a mass towards her crawl!
The following day in natural light staff arrived
finding the woman sitting
against a glass panel mumbling her eyes wide
as if seeing some hideous sight
had to be restrained taken into psychiatric care
of her plight only too aware!
