Doomed Vacuum of Happiness

Doomed Vacuum of Happiness

An invisible vacuum sucking happiness away.
Helplessly lost in a war of the worlds.
Steaming fires.
Racing rockets.
Gory gas.
All shadows of death.
We're near the doors of endless darkness.
An invisible vacuum sucking glory away.
Crash! Crash! - Take cover!
Huddled in the Anderson shelter.
Listening to the screams of terror.
Staring at a familiar photo remembering Dad's motto -
'Never fear, never hear the words of hopelessness.'
My childhood is shattered like a fallen mirror.
The war is a whirlpool sucking happiness
and glory down to the bottomless depths of the sea.
