Snowflakes.

Drifting like the snowflakes,
Twirling down from the sky,
Little bits of white and grey and black,
The ashes of a thousand hellish fires.

Dancing like Medusa,
Twisting like her snakes,
Blazing fiery red and orange,
The raging epicenter of the inferno.

Fluttering like fairies,
Sputtering like candles,
Hesitant and wary and scared,
Twisted survivors crawling around.

Singing like the sirens,
Screaming like a banshee,
Howling in grief and pain,
A thousand children lost.

Doomed like the fallen angel,
Cursed like the banished lord,
Hated beyond comprehension,
Those guilty of dropping the bombs.

Violent like wild dogs,
Prowling in the darkness,
The remnants of a once great race,
Scavengers and ghouls and rats.

Barren like the volcanic rock,
Empty like the void of space,
Lifeless now for evermore,
Graveyard, cemetary, Earth.

I thought up 'drifting like snowflakes' around dinner time.
This is what came out.
