Prophets of an ancient century
Mutalating time as they reminice in thought
Mapping out a thousand thoughts
Lucid explanation of an irrelevent past

"How can the stars be so close,
Yet their light so far away"

Ears bleeding from the annointed one
Future is ever so present and raped by ruin
Adage is irrelevent by new technology
As it is, people oblivious to the apocolypse

"Earth is ruined by the carnivorous organism,
Wasted away and left for dead"

War is prevelant among the aristocrats
Irrelevent to the greed that lusts in their hearts
Death is a lunatic, ready to mock the innocent
Cry! WAKE UP! For now the Future is:

Decent
     Ending
          Abundant
                 diseased

I keep coming back to this--it reminds me of an offhand comment I'd heard regarding David Koresh:

"What if he really was the messiah?" then there was a pause. "I guess that would mean we really [mussed] up."

and I sat there thinking, well, it wouldn't be the first time for that either.

Lots to think about in this piece.

Enjoyed.
