Gypsy Dec 2020
A generation away from extinction
You slaves of lonely self-abnegating sacrificial instincts
You slave of slaves
Aiding in the acquisition
Paying for existing
With terror and slaughter
Slaves of the capitalists
Mystic fear of consequences
No sense of faith
No sense of direction
A love of drudgery
Only the paranoid survive
Courted by incapacity..

So cryptic, almost meaningless.

Government murdered minds and spirit
With ruin upon ruin
As indefensible as infanticide
The blood of the seed
Ignorant and free
A volcano of revolution
In a state of civilization.

Nothing in this life
Like the leaving it
Death...A tiny night-light
On the point of expiring
A dull, dreary affair
Dreading and hoping all.

I've played cards with Plato
Dined with Edgar Alan Poe
I lived in places of pain ,
Places of sorrow
I shared a cell
With men nobody wants to know
I've seen the writing on the wall
The epitaph of fools
I've seen history made
I've seen history fall
I've heard old men beg for youth
And youth beg for the grave
And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls

I've been up on the plateau
Where wise men talk with the wind
I've seen the fading light of God
Heard the tales of children
Around the campfires at night
Stories of monsters
Darkness and light
I've watched the flames dance
A dance of memories and rage
And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls

I've ridden' your wild horses
From the concrete jungle
To the wild wild wilderness
I've turned to see your beauty
Echo in some strangers eye
Then fade with age
I've heard the old woman say
To late is the day you die
And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls

I'll drown my sorrows
In this cup of poison
Stand and howl at the moon
Beg for your forgiveness
And I'll crawl for you
Across broken glass and bones
And I'll crawl for you
Like only a man can crawl..

And somewhere in-between
The thunder calls...

Let Marble be the cold floor
upon which your memories walk.

As cities are fed our young,
To quench their thirst for life,
The machine, rusty and dying
Screams for more,
Cries out,
With its every last breath,
Death...

We push further into the abyss,
Deeper into oblivion,
Our only moon,
A tide,
Made ready for the turning...

Eyes,
Blind to all they see,
Watch forests fall,
Asphalt snakes,
Twist through jungles
All consuming,
Ever ready...

Drunken tales of gods
Pass over distilled lips,
Into a jungle of belief,
In these Taverns of futility,
Tongues,
Dripping wet.
Bring forth lies

Let history tell it all
Let history be your epitaph.

Face me
On this day of reckoning,
sing for me
Of a truth from within,
Let me hear your song,
Sung from a heart so true.
Sing,
As men once sang,
Of conquests,
Of maidens fair,
Bring from within,
To the forefront of your souls
An everlasting peace.

Let those with hearts speak,
Let the charity fanfare be silent,
Let man be one,
Let Nature's reality be reborn as a whole,
Those seeking power and wealth be cast aside.

Let us take back our fields,
Plant seeds,
To grow true,
Let the young run wild
On fields
Where the only sound,  the sound of life
Let the hunters be extinct,
Let the machines die,
Let man be king,
Woman be queen,
Seek truth,
Around fires of warmth.

Let the forests be our home,
A canvas of stars be our roof,
Let the whale sing of oceans,
Let the Eagle sing of skies,
Let mice sing of greatness
Let man be humble,
Trend softly.
Walk this earth,
On a tightrope of peace..

Let this be a warning,
Of mans mortality.
Let the storyteller reign supreme

His story ..
Long dead, long forgotten,
Pass through your realm of dreams

His stories tell of hunger -
His stories tell of War.

There's a ghost of a candle
Lit by a flame of hope
Burning in a church of sorrow..
A cross
Forged on the Anvils of War
The souls of many a battle
Screaming Hymns of Redemption
While mothers and lovers
Cradle memories
In arms, that knew the touch of love
In arms, stained, by the forces of life
As
The love of nations
Echoes
Screaming Hymns of Redemption
In the fading light.

In this age of beauty
We dance digital
An ongoing beat
Forever circling
Never ending.
We sing of genetics
Seek immortality
Like children seeking a future.
We tread paths
Once trodden by fools
With the sweep of a thought.
Brush aside reason..
We surf the net.
We build bigger and better
Displace nature
With castles of rubble
Nests of concrete,
For vulture-men
We devastate
Our souls  
Give begging bowls of hope
To those born
Or yet to come.
We swim puddles of greed.
We cut our noses to spite our faces.
We turn green to grey
Roses to dust.
We advertise pebbles as gold.
We are surplus to requirement...
