The Toll (+2)

I lived inside my timeframe,

did you live inside of yours

 

I lived outside my timeframe,

did you live outside of yours

 

“I carried things from now till then,

a toll I humbly paid

 

Across a bridge where time had stopped,

—the truth to pass each way”

The Simplest Of Words

 

I could package it different,

I could present it complex,

—I could try to impress and deceive

 

But the message eternal,

and the one truly spoken,

—needs the simplest of words to conceive

    Armageddon

 

Our heads so deeply in the sand,

we thought it wouldn’t come

 

And would never heed its warnings,

our denial zero-sum

 

The result of our inaction,

this swamp we dwell within

 

The wolf now shed of Grandma’s robe,

—Armageddon to begin
