I said, “I had a vision
Doesn’t feel too good
We should pack our bags now
Leave this town for good.”
But no one ever listened
They thought it was a joke
Everyone just laughed at
The warning that I spoke
It wasn’t long before they
Realised their fault
Everything just stood still
The town came to a halt
With every rat that came out
With every worm in town
All the ravens fluttered
To bring the moonlight down
That’s when it was certain
We had reached our end
There was no escaping
The terrors of new friends
Everyone was eaten
Not a soul was spared
Then they came up to me
A new king was declared
Then I woke up from my
Dreamy premonition
Is this what it’s like to
Have an ominous vision?
Ominous indeed…

Excellent! A little bit of Edgar Allen Poe in there, Frank. He had that dark ominous vision. Very cool!

For me this has political undertones … and, yes, scary. Well said.

Meeting new people when youβre used to certain things as they are actually can be scary but overcoming them by putting action in place and oiling the rusty gears will put some gusto in your everyday thoughts of socializing. π Ye have little faith in unknown opportunities!

A nightmare of angst. Ominous portent delivered in sleep time, how convincing is this? Mistaken mind games to one are visions to another. Who would dare to sleep on this! Great piece. Chris T.
