Another year has come to a violent end
yet again the people do not disappoint
death destruction chaos misery abound
nothing different to those times before
as always nature the master of mankind
with other malicious forces is entwined!
Another unknown year is about to start
here we go again into the twilight zone
full of uncertainty where nothing is clear
so may I just add Happy New Year!

Weary and disillusioned they came home
left as boys returned old men
within their minds and damaged bodies
too many lost in the trenches
sinking and dying in deep stinking mud
for country spilling their blood!
Longing to be back with family at home
conditions not for any creatures
that deafening noise of exploding shells
crouching in those hell pits
like burrowing moles never dry or warm
trying to survive the brutal storm!
Chocking those without protective masks
mustard gas like a yellow fog
seeped in without mercy a silent killer
nor raising heads as snipers aimed
across no mans land the soldiers waited
far away the officers debated!
In safety top brass making the decisions
of when they had to attack the foe
like moving chess pieces on the board
lives were put in jeopardy
for the gain of just a few feet of territory
whose was this savage glory?
Millions have perished so it will continue
the never ending cycle of war
peace it is said no profit can ever be made
the majority are but pawns
from the 1914 to 1918 quoted Great War
nothings changed what else is in store?
Surely most want peace and unity for all
or will it go on until mankind does fall?
The soldiers just want to go home!

Silently the danger swiftly approached
gathered speed as it careered onward
many eyes through telescopes observed
could see the object coming this way
on earth humans continued their folly
disbelieving of what could soon occur
others searched for provisions to hoard
merciless violence then soured!
Too many predictions were unfounded
so few thought it would ever be
nothing would change greed still ruled
there could be nowhere for us to flee
darkness despair the disbelief grew
death and horror the only view!
No Fresh air sun or sweet singing birds
happy children innocently playing
certain a meteorite was going to collide
ending in terror mankind’s very existence
written its said as an ancient prophecy
as it hurled closer to the earths surface
the few hid in deep secure habitation
no room for most of the population!
By a miracle or very poor calculations
it passed by earth at close proximity
a warning how fragile the balance of life
hurtling onward in spaces vast highway
order restored the chaos forgotten
mankind carried on just as rotten!
Another chance given for humans to repent
or short reprieve from an inevitable event!
#TheFoureyedPoet.
Who is wandering our populated areas
many innocent people have vanished
anguished families have been in limbo
frightened where the young have gone
what is the number of the disappeared
gone most harmed it is sadly feared!
Anxious and desperate wait of the parents
knowing there is nothing they can do
always wondering why they are missing
empty spaces that have been left behind
sometimes closure when a body found
others hoping for a word or sound!
It is said often though awful maybe true
the abductors are somebody they knew
a friend or relative not a pleasant thought
anybody trusted could do such a thing
fearing the stranger not those very near
off guard as family members leer!
Keep your family close beware of strangers
humans a mystery even unto themselves
there are dark recesses it is said in the mind
that cannot be evaluated history has defined
those who have ventured down that evil path
its written must face their gods wrath!
Mankind surely is the worst predator and beast
upon all living things its hunger doth feast!
TheFoureyedPoet.
In the distance something suddenly glinted
even though in a thick forest
the friends wandered amongst dense trees
with a touch of curiosity
their attention was now drawn to that spot
a choice to investigate or not!
Interest overwhelmed any thought of danger
as the light became more intense
darting at high-speed low but rising into the sky
changing colours then halting
not far ahead they ran eagerly to find the cause
without even a moment to pause!
Then abruptly it hovered and glowed multicolored
small like a probe they had to feel it
strange writing around the centre warm to touch
no sound emanated from it
at first there was no panic but it became so bright
lit the area like a floodlight!
Shooting high above the trees as if tracking them
thinking it was going to strike
tried to find some safe cover but there was none
as they quickly backtracked
from nowhere soldiers were rapidly approaching
on their freedom encroaching!
The group was roughly escorted from the area
as helicopters overhead hovered
leaving them baffled at what they had witnessed
at gun point forced into their car
ordered to leave the forest without explanation
happy to leave avoiding confrontation!
Eventually from a safe distance could monitor
curiosity overcame apprehension
felt the air around them quiver all eyes raised
saw a huge unidentified craft
over the forest cast a dark portentous obscurity
exposing mans real unsurety!
Explosions and shells intermingled with beams
similar to lasers as helicopters fell
a small round shape flew up entered the huge ship
then it just vanished from sight
now devastation in the once peaceful woodland
as a strange wind the flames fanned!
While they could the friends raced from this place
ominous of what mankind would face!
TheFoureyedPoet.
It was just his glance of disapproval
at the dangerous maneuver
noticed in the split second exchange
the figure behind the wheel
certainly did not look of human origin
leaving a knotted feeling within!
For a moment pondered aliens are real
could not shake the dread
growing paranoia inside him simmered
could they be amongst us
looking like us so origin not to recognise
our form just a disguise!
Depicted in countless science fiction films
most taking it as entertainment
but this encounter had for the first time
created that worrying possibility
that actors were portraying on the screen
real off world beings in each scene!
Hysterical at that thought stopped stressed
deciding it must be imagination
but could not shake the imprinted image
his secure existence dented
observing with scrutiny everybody he met
always now a little suspect!
From deep inside he knew they were here
the threat to mankind Severe!

It started as a routine weekend in spring
dry and very sunny
heavy traffic buzz as the birds did sing
happy with no money
so young when love was all we needed
any warning never heeded!
Soon the late afternoon was upon us both
not noticing the time
just happy being in our own company
the clouds thickened
stopping as there was no sounds at all
except a faint call!
From a noisy street everyone had gone
no children’s laughter
empty ground where families played
just the two of us alone
above strange craft beams of blue light
the ground did ignite!
How we ran in a petrified state of terror
without a clue of the cause
near a railway track followed its route
hoping to see living beings
soon the lights were coming our way
we were somethings prey!
The railway station then came into sight
could see thousands
of humans crowded into a massive group
screams so mournful
creatures guarded with merciless intent
upon them cruelty did vent!
There was no resistance from any armies
they were in total control
without warning their will on us imposed
upon an unsuspecting earth
the beams seemingly erasing the population
a terrifying realisation!
These lizard like aliens were a grotesque sight
their numbers increased
as the human race disintegrated before us
from the intense glow
how we escaped to this moment do not know
man’s essence in rivers did flow!
The prophecy’s of a massive cull were true
not all were lost to the evil
a few innocent souls did escape the specters
determined to overcome
denying the elite their triumph and alliance
in the name of defiance!
Does such a conspiracy exist in society today?
The Foureyed poet.
Outside of the desert camp gates
a sinkhole had appeared
during the long cold dark night
their entrance blocked
patrols at the perimeter fence
found cracks so immense!
Anybody within were trapped
the only way out fly
but there were no helicopters
nobody knew the cause
deep concern a secret facility
it was an act of hostility!
Who was the enemy contact lost
communications down
alone in the middle of a desert
an unseen enemy close
vibrations beneath their feet
with nowhere to retreat!
How any invaders could penetrate
or attack undetected
a dark project non-existent site
caused a major threat
no time to initiate self destruct
the project was fucked!
Blasts grew louder from below
the ground they stood on
disintegrated as the craft rose
cylindrical and metallic
slowly emerged from the debris
leaving behind the frenzy!
From the small sinkhole it grew
until everything imploded
those few soldiers who survived
helplessly watched
as in silence and blink of an eye
it vanished into the sky!
The leaders were far from amused
the stolen technology
could lead to the their downfall
those mighty paymasters
defeated by their doomsday device
mankind paying the price!
Could such a scenario really happen?
The Foureyed Poet.
Had for so long had vivid realistic dreams
she knew were not real
this time became agitated and fearful
inside a tall building
people seemed relaxed within the foyer
appeared a good employer?
Must be a large company or posh hotel
as she panned the interior
yet out of sight there was a dark shape
making her become anxious
otherwise perfect as though employed
being here enjoyed!
Again this darkness and panic emerged
that calmness faded
as a loud explosion shook the building
from somewhere below
no panic as alarms sounded all around
slowly to the exit bound!
Certain there was no hurry then another
bang made many fall
and the atmosphere changed to urgency
the third and fourth
made everyone run now objects crashed
large windows smashed!
She found herself being pushed trampled
people trying to leave
but could not wake up as the scene changed
now standing watching
from the other side of the street a spectator
as from above a roar!
A darkness covered the building as it collapsed
at an unbelievable pace
pulverized dust that also spewed debris outwards
just like a nuclear explosion
fine ash lingering like a fine layer of grey snow
rivers of molten metal did flow!
Awoke gasping for air the scene was familiar
who could wreak this awful act
too many died through her eyes could still see
the rising mushroom cloud
she hoped this event would never come true
as the dread of mankind grew!
The Foureyed Poet.
That moment of a birth the joy and pride
expectations for the perfect future
but often this is not always the fairy tale story
of many whose lives are of misery
and squalor brought up in a violent background
guns and bombs the only sound!
Hounded with families out of their natural homes
through history the pattern repeats
stability is something that millions can never know
forced to be nomadic not by choice
some overcome adversity and find the good path
others it will lead to wrath!
It has to be said even those in theory who are born
into society’s good life stray
humans can too often be easily led the wrong way
poverty is far from misguiding
for those who have the misfortune to live that life
facing years of this strife!
Help is offered in different ways in these catastrophes
aid to support and give a little hope
countries involved do not seem to help their people
relying on aid from western countries
yet hatred and tribal disputes over centuries exist
and hope of peace many do resist!
Major nations pursue to take sides violence persists
the compassion factor ignored
corruption or greed has always been in our makeup
nothing has changed in that process
even with the unstable and endless human unrest
is there still not much to be blest?
I refuse to give up the belief in mankind just yet!
The Foureyed Poet.
