Array ( [sid] => 145952 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lawless Power [time] => 2008-10-27 22:18:31 [hometext] => maybe u can relate... [bodytext] => Hundreds of hollow hearts are full of pride, greed, and apathy
Horrendous how we refuse to heed honesty, morality, and austerity.
The power is in our hands, yet our feet leave behind trails of blood.
The inferior are being swept away and drowned in our evil flood.
As we allow advances to become our disadvantages,
the innocent are laid in coffins and covered with bandages.

Since the dominated days of anarchy and tyranny repeat,
the whole world will bow down before the juggernaut’s feet.
A new army will rise to slaughter anyone who opposes them.
Any democracy or diplomacy will fail under the lawless system.
Mad scientists will continue to conduct unstable experiments
like cloning, genetic mutations, and destructive weapons.
Arsons’ raging fire will engulf the cities we worked so hard to build.
Nature’s beautiful horizon will turn into one massive, vile landfill.
Red rivers, streams, and oceans will overflow with countless corpses
while graves will be dug deep into every precipice.

Thousands will be forced into slavery, rape, and death fights,
though many others will try to hide, escape, or commit suicide.
Priests, nuns, and disciples will lose faith to evil’s dark glare.
Even optimists will abandon hope and douse in despair.
Our ears will be shattered by our own sharp, shrill shrieks,
and we will gouge out our own eyes to no longer witness such calamity.

Thus, you will suffer greatly in this doomed wasteland,
unless you understand that the power is still in your hands.

such a true message.....the poem was mind blowing! Very dramatic (but in a good way), and could not be put more truthful.

A very dark and powerful message.
For so many, already too late, but for others....?
