the Millennial Harbinger ...

charging toil
runs its
rampant race
as the garbage
piles high
and
while no one
can tell you
why
time sharpens
its teeth
on my very
existence

smarter as you go
some say
and time still
marches to its
macabre rhythm
while the bones
of the dead
still
are still
and their blood
boils no more

fiction blurs
into fact
and no one
can, will or
wants to
confess truth
as the almighty
savior of our times
while the hands
spin faster
towards
the end

return today
to the
Millennial Harbinger's
call of wild
times to come
while the sun
bursts its flamed
winds upon the
Earth and
darkness shall
never return

a thousand thousands
upon many more
dwell forever
on the rock of life
while time finally
dies its lonely
last tick and
leaves us
alone

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

This work is quite profoundly metaphorical, MA... I particularly like

"time sharpens
its teeth
on my very
existence"...

Nice job..
