City of the Damned

[lanaia74]

I feel the sea breeze blowing off the Roman sea

The ocean the sea gulls flying such a pretty sight

As the wind blows I watch the swaying trees

T he sunshine feels so bright.

It's hard to believe it's already 79 A. D.

In this gorgeous sanctuary time slips fast

The volcano adds a special touch of beauty to the sea

Only if these times would last.

I feel the earth tremble and shake

The sky darkens as if a storm approaches

Please don't let this happen for everyone's sake

Maybe I can escape with my horses and coach.

Looking toward the sky it's raining ash

From this there is no where to run and hide

Everyone running and screaming as they try to make a dash

The lava is flowing even into the ocean's tide.

I guess we all shall die from this God forsaken mess

We thought within Pompeii we had the perfect life

We didn't ask for this deadly quest

And the lava flows feeling like the sting of a hot knife.
