The sun is going down. <br />Everything is dark. <br /> <br />The angels sleep. <br />Dogs howl. <br />Babies cry. <br />Parents shout. <br /> <br />The wind turns cold. <br />The flowers wither. <br /> <br />Couples break up. <br />Soldiers die. <br />Students fail. <br />Children go hungry. <br /> <br />The rain pours hard. <br />Lightning strikes. <br /> <br />Pregnant women scream. <br />Babies start to die. <br />Birds no longer sing. <br />Insane people get crazier. <br /> <br />The thunder rumbles... <br />No one smiles.<br /><br />Katherine Kobito<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-257/
