Tentacles

2781

Spreading through nations 

Misery and death. 

 

War in the making 

Peace bereft. 

 

Invading continents 

Ready to overthrow. 

 

What is the answer 

Does anyone know?

 

How did we let fester 

This evil disease?

 

Did we invite it

With all of our ease?

 

Were we complacent 

Fooled By the foe?

 

Their end will come swiftly 

Let it be so.

    Yes, the Psalmists seems to 'rant' in places. But evil has to be overcome for good to triumph.

    It a bizarre thing, evil kills evil.
    He's very clever.

    Good write - the structure and rhyme does it for me as does the message. But forget the 'we' will ya......

        But of that day and hour knoweth no man, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
