The Days Hasten On



The Days Hasten On As the Bards Foretold

Men race to take control of worldly power

Mingling with avarice and vulgarity

As an extremist, fanatic, and rebel

Materialism and poverty

Menace liberty

And life

*

In Countless Sovereign Nations

Amidst opulence and luxuries

Nero’s kind rule and dines

Yet Famine lies awaiting

Chaos reigns supreme

Yet babies cry in

Pain as hunger

Persists

*

The Circle Spins Round and Round

The expected Age came as foretold

“Man, think again of your destiny.” 

Consider love a healing balm

Which soothes both angst

And anger; End disparity

Accept our differences

Embrace diversity

Acknowledge the 

Power of

 Peace

*

The Drums of War Fell Silent

Battle flags now rest furled

Peace as destiny foretold

Absolute and enduring

Irrepressible irresistible

Omnipotent priceless

Radiant timeless 

Unfettered

Peace

*
