Apocalypse

When children lose their innocence

To adult warfare

About gods and their minions,

Apocalypse is here.

 

Then viper soul begins to peep

From out of Damien eye,

Teacher becomes predator,

And good  neighbour a spy.

 

“Development”  races  majestic

All the way to the moon,

While pride of   lucre’s forward march

Turns   citizen  into goon.

 

Thus are nations made supreme

By  an  Inquisitor  lord,

While  angels wring their helpless hands

To  their outdated god.
