Taken By The Beam Poem by Ethan Lawnd

The other day
There was a odd sight 
It moved in for a short stay
It manifested a bright light 
What it was I can not say 
It was dark as the night 
There were two eyes 
With them came a beam 
It fed me lies 
And made me scream 
Breaking close ties 
Burning dreams 
The ones you love are dead
Taken by this horrible machine 
Still the beam is in my head 
Wiping my thoughts clean 
Of any hopes or dreams in my bed 
Turning me into something mean
Now the machine takes its leave 
Stealing from me my mind 
Now I will never believe 
That there could have been a time 
Where you and I could have achieved 
Something worth a rhyme
