Post-Apocalyptic Children's Rhyme
Once there were zombies,
Now there are none;
Nuclear winter,
The heat of the sun.
Once there were flowers
Grown down by the lake;
Now it's polluted
Beyond nature's wake.
Once there were children
With voices so clear;
Now I hear silence
As darkness draws near.
And if I hear noises
Or gunshots at night,
I pray I remain here
Solely to write.
Now there are none;
Nuclear winter,
The heat of the sun.
Once there were flowers
Grown down by the lake;
Now it's polluted
Beyond nature's wake.
Once there were children
With voices so clear;
Now I hear silence
As darkness draws near.
And if I hear noises
Or gunshots at night,
I pray I remain here
Solely to write.
