Eve lay a cool breath ‘cross blackness in plunging
toward star-filled fantasy fare
Night game creep mindless with agonies twisted,
blind eyes no longer aware
Come watch the play, its last act reviling,
encoring tomorrows insane
Lie awake crying, sweet dreams abandoned,
for greed and prosperity’s gain
.
Weep never more
Gentle child, for I hear you …
Stay never lonely again
Hide ‘neath the cloak of my love, let surround you …
The end of humanity’s came
.
Fire hot and searing, a writhing inferno,
a tempestuous funeral pyre
All of man’s glory lie dead ‘neath the embers,
damned by his selfish desires
Damned are the Kings and the Senates elected,
fed by the blood of the children they’ve sold
Damned are the masses, the sheep that lie bleating,
like so many chattel they’re bought and then sold
Like wandering chattel they’re bought and controlled
.
Weep never more
Gentle child, for I hear you
Stay never lonely again
Hide ‘neath the cloak of my love … let surround you
The end of humanity’s came
.
