A tune went out
We all heard it well
The tune spoke to us
It said to KILL!!!!!
So as soon as it was broadcast
The killing began in mass!
Murder grew
The body count did too
Yet, no one stopped to consider
Where the broadcast we heard had come from
Nor why,
It caused us to commit murder.
Eventually,
It stopped one day
Only the lives that remained
Were left calm at first,
Then horror struck at what they did!
Followed by the ponderings of what came next?
The broadcast had ended as suddenly as it began
Man & woman killed until then
Your religion,
Your views of world peace
None of it mattered when you heard the signal call out
Some killed themselves after the fact
Assuming they were going to hell after their acts
Still,
Some lived broken but, survivors none the less
All pondered
How, where & why
The broadcast had played?
What was the origin of its existence?
Was it a live test ?
For something military?
Why did it stop?
All answers we will forever wonder about
…
