Ruins and consequences

WHAT I SEE
I see a dark cloud and a town with two story buildings facing each other, then I see a man putting on a black cloak, concealing himself and his face in the cloak. I also see a black bird like what seem to be a hawk or a vulture roving the sky.

Then I see two people in the far distance and what seem to be a fog.

WHAT I FEEL IS GOING ON
I feel the town is under siege or some sort of disaster struck, which has caused the town to be abandoned or caused the dwellers to remain indoors.

The Angel of death moved like a shadow in the steaming hot afternoon, as his cloak spread out in the dusty dry wind.

The few residents remaining indoors, peeped through the tiny holes in their windows, wondering who is next to go to the great beyond.

Now, the angel of death is not an entity you see everyday especially not in the day light.

But since the actions of humanity broke the scale between good and evil,there is not enough light left in the world and everyday, darkness in the form of dark clouds, befalls the town.

However, as evil outweighed the good, and it became too heavy on the evil side, the scale of balance crashed. Chaos fell as life became meaningless.

Every now and then, the Angel of death swoops in.

In his black cloak concealing his facial identity, he goes about collecting souls of the departed, whose carcass now serves as a delicacy to the vulture.

You know these whole depressing scene would have been avoidable, as I cannot even stand it myself, Death thought.

I mean, they had the privilege of revelation, they were warned. Death continued with his thoughts, as he swoops in, rounding up the souls that had brought him out.

The town has long been left ghosted and the seer had initially warned the town's people to desist from their selfish and evil act as it would be the death of them, but they refused to listen as they were too far gone in the rush and excitement of being bad and perpetuating evil.

Now, the once bubbling town is currently at the brink of annihilation as the people who were too old to migrate barely goes out for any form of activities or inter relationships.

The Young able bodied youths are far gone in search of greener pastures and a second chance to get it right, not to repeat the same mistakes of the old who had failed them.

Every now and then, the blind seer comes out in the company of his son just to get a glimpse in his mind's eye the ruins and then lament about it.

Thus, the seer's lamentation follows:

So this is what humanity has been reduced to? The seer questioned as he walked behind his son who leads the way.

He continued: Abandoned buildings, Darkness in the cloud and a foggy view.

I did warn them severally, but as history would always repeat itself, they failed to listen.

He concluded: Now, the whole world will suffer the consequences of their actions as the darkness will spread when there is nothing left to consume in the town.
