Ruin

Not entirely sure how to describe this one, other than my decision to read some older literature that had been based upon fear of nuclear warfare. I'll let this one speak for itself.

"Ruin"
A cloud of dust passes over the ground,
Not a singe survivor has been found.
It wasn't long ago when they fell from the sky,
The world went silently, it didn't even cry.
Skyscrapers, shattered and broken,
Arcade machines, destroyed, spewing tokens.
A scorched Earth is all that remains,
Emptied by several nuclear domains.
A crow flies overhead,
Looking down at the small shadow burned into a bed.
Shadows burned into buildings is all that can be seen,
A dark legacy, a hellish dream.
The bombs fell, and people stared in shock,
Now all that can be heard is the delayed ticking of a single broken clock.

Save Me

I could very easily go into some long tangent about this one, but I'd rather not.

"Save Me"

I sit inside of this small box,
All I can hear is ticking from numerous clocks.
Days of living without a care,
All forgotten now, confined within the stale air.
Life has come and time has gone,
Inside of this box, I have withdrawn.
From the day we are born,
We are pushed until we are tattered and torn.
I committed this simple crime,
I wasted my time,
And while I may be fine,
I continue my sanity's decline.
A silent scream,
A sinister dream,
Only time will tell,
If I will ever escape this hell.
I look and see those I cared for cry,
But my destination is not that of the kingdom in the sky.,
Buried within this hole,
No salvation for my darkened soul.
A world I am forced to depart,
A destination fit only for those without a heart.

Now I utter an unheard plea,
Wishing now that someone would save me.
