Write a poem about the end of the world**

Apocalypse

All of this started with a little

Plague. It didn’t take long for it to spread all

Over the world.

Countries closed,

Air was harder to breathe,

Lives taken away,

You never knew when it was your time.

People who kept going didn’t survive for long,

Strength was in numbers but only for the plague, it didn’t take long for humans to become

Extinct.
