Surviving the Poison

It flew over my small and peaceful town,
landing outside while still looking down,
people ran into groups in the big hall,
knowing that he could make it easily fall,
hearing the steps outside coming near,
the people gripped each other in fear,
I ran from this place and out the door,
looking back to see what he came for,
opening the roof so easy with his hands,
as he spewed acid from full jaw glands,
then flying away as darkness fell,
I stayed hidden near the center well,
soon i heard movement saw people come,
then in the moonlight i knew what they become,
slaves to the poison that melted their skin,
as the acid took over their brain within,
I escaped from my home to seek help from another,
after i saw the change of my parents and brother.
