When planes soaring high over clouds
go down
skies turn red and everyone fills with dread.
The earth is covered by a bleeding crown,
city streets piled with bodies of the dead.
The calamity, the pure disaster,
the horizon a never-ending flame.
Confused survivors look for a master;
one who is destined, the world he
must tame.
The universe is not left bare as bone
because despite the chaos in this world
nobody really wants to be left alone.
So people's secrets are unfurled
and all societies come together
regardless of how lousy the weather.

I took on the challenge of writing a Shakespearean sonnet. It was super hard, and this is the end result.
