Weep Never More

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
