The Dust

By James M.

Red dawn greeted our awakening this morning
Have we been carried off to the sand dunes of Mars
During our deep slumber
Where is our Opera House and the famous Coat hanger
As briefly they appear quickly they disappear again
Dust everywhere this Wednesday
All around is coloured by orange or red spectrum
News of 'red blood sky causing havoc in Sydney' was ringing in my eardrums
As well as remarks that likened this day to the end of the world
But even if the end is nigh and all around is dust
I remember in Genesis from the Lord of hosts
"You were made from dust and to dust you will return"
