The Day the World Disappeared

The day the world went away
I stood and stared
Looking at all the people in the fray
Their thoughts and goals were impaired

Wretched battles spread across the horizon
Not physical but mental strain
I search for myself once again
Forgetting where I have already searched

On the peak of the mountain the few are pearched
For the best seats in the house
The past slowly crumbles
And the earth lurched

When matter dissolves into powder
The few sit and wonder
Where will we go from here
When the world has completely disappeared.

Battles fought and both sides lost
They thought they could win
They didn’t matter what the cost
Pools of water form once again

The gravel of the earth turns to liquid
People stop what they are doing;
Slowly becoming livid
Their world is gone without their knowing

The heart of the earth is now showing
as everyone passes on to the other side
Crevices of the world are hundreds of miles wide
Molten magma rises glowing

The world is gone
Nobody really cares
It disappeared before
It will come again
