The Future

I write this parable

To warn you of a future

A future of pain

My future

You see, I came back

To give people hope

People of the present

They need hope for the future

Without warning there is no hope

For it was sudden

And very unexpected

But it turned the world upside down

And many people died

My family died

My friends died

Almost everyone died

I'm one of the few survivors 

There are only thousands of us

There were 9 billion

But now there are 10 thousand

It all came from a man

A very selfish guy he was

One day he made a plan

"I want to" was his because

This plan was terrible

It wiped out billions

Nothing is comparable

Who had it worst was the civilians

They had no chance

Against the army he made

All it took was one glance

They would have no aid

They were wiped out

In a matter of days

I had no doubt

That all towns were ablaze

For there was no mercy

None to be seen

There was no controversy

The chaos was obscene

There was nowhere to hide

Nowhere at all

Oh believe me, we tried

The human race started to fall

There was fire all around

Corpses were scattered

Blood was soaked into the ground

All hope was shattered

We lived in fear

For the future was bleak

We thought the end was near

All around you could hear people shriek

One day they found us

We had no will to live

We didn't put up a fuss

We didn't care if we would survive

It was terrible

We found a new mission

For the situation was unbearable

We got out of that place

We kicked and we hit

There was a big chase

But the survivors won

We found a new life

The rebellion had just begun

It was new and full of strife

We made a decision

One that resulted in this

So that the future may have a rescission

This letter you shouldn't dismiss

For we are warning you

To save your lives

So this you don't have to live through

So this future will not run rife

Please heed my words

Watch out for trouble

Always be on guard

For it will come unexpectedly
