Science Fiction - The Disease From The Sky Poem by Paul Warren

The boat moves slowly along the Murray River
As we left the last town I felt down my spine a shiver
Each town we pass it's been the same story
No one alive just a lot of bodies in a mess that's gory
The pandemic had hit the world and most had fallen
To the disease from the sky in the meteor shower as it was falling

First there was the first responders who came to help
Those with the disease had taken with little yelp
But there were some who were immune to these invaders
So we travel on to find safe haven as human race saviours
We started from the Albury Wodonga river town
Finding in the search three other survivors around

So what is left for us as the chosen few
To search for a place in the sun as our hope grew
With each town our hope was dashed for them
When we found that the people had been lost in their end
Our journey down the river continues on
For our band of people whose safety is in our bond.
