There is a crackling in the air
there something out there
that is reaching across all life
and it’s a cutting sharp knife.
It’s angry, it’s hard and telling.
It’s comes in ugly and yelling,
and it’s as unrelenting as gravity
pulling us down in its depravity.
Power is all that matters now.
Nations and peoples must bow
to devils of the East and West
at the time of their loyalty test.
Else, the four horsemen will rise
as they chase the phantom prize
of power, wealth and adulation
from all of you and every nation.
The end is just beginning
The world is now spinning
in a direction of great turmoil
in a battle for minerals and oil.
Evil must be stopped now
before fields feel the plow
before the seeds are in the ground
before the final trumpets do sound.
It is time to rise up, to resist,
to make arguments and persist
with values and courage unfettered
while reasoned people still matter.
Before the power of evil is too strong
and right is indistinguishable from wrong
in the apocalypse of the four horsemen
and the battles which precurses the end.
Rise up, while we still can
Rise up, and upend their plan
Rise up, with all the power of good
Rise up, let the future know we stood
bravely for them!
Yes, sadly–if not tragically- this rings true. I wish it didn’t. When the so-called ‘new sheriff in town’ and ‘leader of the free world’, values the worth of other, greater devils, and turns on trusted friends with scorn.
Not a time for being idle. Optimism will not overcome the troubles in front of us now and those yet to come.
