As the car passed the historic building
surrounded by scaffolding
the driver was certain something huge
hovered amidst the structure
an orange glow from the street lights
formed an eerie pattern
that resembled a giant spider outline
its tentacles the poles did entwine!
Mesmerized hit a stationary parked car
air bags inflated felt the jolt
shaken they got out fearful of sighting
nobody seemed to be around
the three stood huddled then a clatter
as scaffolding began to fall
a shape dropped to the street close by
on instinct would have to rely!
Decided to exit certain the area was unsafe
whatever the object seen
knew it was an imminent danger to them
through an alley they ran
hopefully were making their way to safety
but came upon devastation
another arachnid scaled down a stone wall
making them feel significantly small!
Below a large crowd of revelers were dancing
before they could give a warning
it was upon them and many were devoured
from behind heard anguished cries
where had these things come from evaluated
as high above the sky lit up
filled with a flaming roaring meteor shower
they diverted into the high office tower!
Out of breath reached the top of the block
forcing open the fire escape
scrambled onto the flat roof nowhere to go
a panoramic view of the chaos
the sky was alight and fire rose from below
they witnessed the coming
of intelligent bugs swarming as fighter jets
for them no time for regrets!
Approaching them on the roof a huge bug
swiftly followed by missiles
the building exploded catapulting the three
into free fall this was their end
inexplicably there was a canal down below
and though from a great height
survived the hard impact hitting mud bank
then all just went blank!
Awoke freezing and dazed as the action raged
soldiers were around them
soon they were found and taken to a safe area
where some tale was conveyed
told the population could only be protected
if they remained in chosen districts
as authorities pursued ways of eradicating
an enemy to humans devastating!
It would be a long time before the people knew
the real truth of the invaders
as what is visible to our senses and is so real
the facts from us all they did conceal!
