Searching only for faults

They witnessed only fissures

So they trembled 

Fear begot suspicion

And doubt razed morality 

As mere ideas tore down pillars

Simple words undid the fabric of the skye 

They trembled at the sight of seams

Cowering beneath duvets 

Drowning in nightmares to come

Orators held filibusters

Though their lips stumbled

And  their voices quaked

Faith in their fear 

Became their damnation

There were tremors sure

And darkness to be seen

However, salvation was imminent 

Ignorance gave way to sacrifice 

Suicide and more shadows

It wasn't the end of their world

Just the end of a drought

Something they knew nothing about

So they shook with terror 

Even when the drops fell on their skin
