A monster came to Earth,Nature gone wrong. It swept
the comfort of our lives
into its maw, leaving
behind bare foundations
and broken memories,
ones recalled with instant
clarity every time
the sky turns black. England's
warning to "Get below
ground" was lost in the roar:
sirens died, mid-wail. The
only screaming we heard
was fear: our own. We were
lucky: we survived. Some
weren't -- nine years later,
remembered. We pray it
never happens again -
but it will. The monster
still hungers. Ask those who've
seen his appetite for
destruction, who've heard the
awful sounds growling from
the belly of the beast .. . ...
