-
Private airwaves with broken voices
Traveling through rusted speakers
To an imaginary audience just waiting to listen
Recorded not a second before tragedy descended
But there was not a person to hear their cries
No one to listen to desperate lies
Just a breeze flowing through barren skies
The velvet whisper of bittersweet goodbyes
Cars left askew parked awkwardly in the streets
Small wisps of air gently caress the fallen leaves
Assorted items and scraps litter the parched ground
Crunches and clangs echo through decrepit buildings
Once beautiful creations become worn-out and decayed
Magnificently bright colors slowly start to fade
Desolate parks where children once played
Become no more than a mindless charade
Lights flicker weakly illuminating vacant spaces
Water drips softly from an unturned faucet
Memories everlasting in pictures and portraits
Acquiring dust from the many years they have stayed
Another day passes like nothing has changed
A new feeling of solitude washes over the horizon
While in reality, everything is proceeding normally
Coping with the absence of one vital thing
After we have gone,
What will happen?

- Title: What Will Happen?
- Artist: JadedChemical
- Description: A poem about will happen after, in some time, we are gone from this world. I didn't mean it to be depressing, I just got thinking about it. This poem is my work and my work only. =], I found a picture on Photobucket that gives a picture of what I'm trying to describe.
