on the precipice.....

on the precipice.......

03/25/2021

 

 

All hell is loose on planet Earth

Efforts of reconciliation have been scorned

Sense and sensibility has lost all worth 

Once more, my armor, I am forced to adorn

 

Satans hold is growing stronger

His followers see right in might

Unwilling to compromise any longer 

Itching for a conclusive fight

 

It’s incomprehensible to fathom, when

Survivors of the last war, still around 

Penned and swore peace for living memory 

Are finding voices of reason systematically drowned

 

So, as I am once again required to descend, 

To stave off another horrific earthly calamity 

In light of humans unforgiving destructive power

To subdue the disgruntled forces of impending doom

 

As a last resort, in the absence of all else, I must gather my

Crown, molded by eternal knowledge, of Self Realization,

The ultimate deflection shield of all prevailing Truth

Weaponize, to perform my righteous Dutiful Actions

    Surely righteousness is showing peace to all.

  • Doggerel Dave

    Sorry mate, there is noone out there - humans must sort it for themselves, which on evidence so far they seem singularly unable or unwilling to do.
    That, despite a powerful write.

      Then, there is no barrier, to stopping the doom. Appreciate your comments

      A powerful image, as Dave says, and for me a bit Miltonian, anticipating a cosmic battle with your crowned warrior arming himself to take on hell itself. This nonreligious reader sympathizes with your hope, but wonders why it's taking so long! Interesting and moving piece.

      your words certainly had me on the very edge of my seat ...

    • Fay Slimm.

      Such powerful scenes set in poetic words Suresh - - am on the edge of my seat after reading your warning. Good write.

    • SureshG

      Since the turn of the millennium, societal norms have been breaking down on an accelerated pace. The noise is becoming deafening, as the voices of reason have stated, our past is a lesson for the future.

      Thank you
