Four Dark Eyes

Four dark eyes stare into the distance

Waiting to start another barrage

Anger boils and overflows

Endless days of death and despair

Have made them weary

Souls heavy with reality

Headlines say it ends tomorrow

It is time to get in those last licks

Before the deadline hits

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Fleeing, hearts pounding dripping fright

Losing sight, cut by the flying shards

Pressing their bodies together

As if that makes a difference because they are

Receiving those last licks

Monday morning dawns over the hills

And the four dark eyes peer out

Unable to stop scanning the horizon

Waiting to wreak havoc

If the BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Comes flying their way

The four dark eyes blink

Brains screaming "is it over?"

Better keep scanning
