Whores are profiting in Babylon as comets streak across the sky The Jews have returned to Zion and all the beasts are locked inside The earth is shrouded in darkness the moon drips blood upon her ground A New World order is upon us and they say the end is near All the signs are out there and there's nothing left to fear Seven headed monster are arising from the eternal sea of pain Holy wars have erupted between the righteous and the sane John of Patmos is smiling although his revelations were in vain Man has turned against his brother armies await on every shore For the end or the beginning or perhaps something even more But there ain't no trumpet blowing On this Judgment Day There ain't no flags waving And nothing much has changed |

Sure nothing changed much Everywhere in the world they keep on fighting their 'holy' wars. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

There have always been men who have turned against brother, and there have always been men who have embraced their brother in love. The history of the world is one of War and bloodshed, but also of Love and Peace. You just have to focus on the latter, or should I say ladder, meaning the ladder of LOVE, PEACE, RESPECT, HARMONY, UNITY. And the ladder I climb is not made with the rungs of any single spiritual or religious persuasion or belief, nor any single book of truths. |

I wasn't going to, but I like this poem so much, that I will add my mere two bits--respectfully of course. smile... I think the title distracts from the work, and the work is grand, I LIKE it, I like the thought-provoking implications of politic, but the title seems almost irreverent--perhaps that was irony I did not catch? All in all, tho, glad I popped in! |
