Prelude to Fear

gerrylegister

We grow tired groan vigorous

Patient with our selves right to heed,

The fierce charge on the apocalypse

Unconvincing snare ejaculate with speed.

 

Prelude to the fearsome now live in fear,

Expect tension to grow erect.

See the large theft of economy in despair,

Courage, knowledge, reverence, a new edit.

 

The whole assembled planet is a bed

Sleeping with the burden we made.

Concentrated lust ripe to breed,

All the easy opportunities have fled.

 

Adrenaline hurried on the ridged treadmill

Our likeness on the decline.

This realm, fastened with grim shape will

Roars upward the concerns we find.

 

Still in ourselves, we take captive pride

A human error our times fertilize,

The sperm of long woes we try to hide

Only send applause to the un-consenting skies.
