Premonition

I had a dream the other night

A dream I can't forget

It woke me with a sense of doom

And soaked my sheets in sweat

This vision plagues my every thought

The worst is yet to come

I fear this dream is coming true

I need to tell someone

I dreamt the other night

That famine spread across the land

The clouds, they held no water

And the oceans turned to sand

People by the millions

Were gathered in the streets

Their voices had gone quiet

Just the sound of marching feet

They labored forward blindly

Not knowing where or why

Their purpose long forgotten

Their eyes fixed on the sky

Amongst them walked a silent foe

It had no face or name

It cared not for your riches

For your power, or your fame

Its deadly touch would plant in you

Disease to multiply

And spread to those around you

As the herd emulsified

And in the sky, appeared to us

Its message clear and plain

“When I am done, this world and you

Will never be the same”
