What came next
After a drought lay unrest
Was a huge storm that swept
Through the continent to debt
Rain dripped down in vain
With plains carved into caves
The ravens sought plates
Filled with stains of rotten dates
People rushed into the caves
To find sanctuary
To escape from this apocalypse
And hopefully be saved
The ravens
With their sharp, contaminated beaks
Pecked their eyes ‘til they bled
And just like that
The souls broke free
And began to see the world in a different scene
The drought had shed the earth
Gave it a new shade of color
The storm had cleansed the impurities
Gave the world new meanings
