On Evil, Today and Tomorrow

The bodachs gather I'm feeling odd something is about to happen my face maintains a calm façade Dangerous intentions build within mortal coil glows with sin The winds of change have blown by none of them hear the cry Lightning strikes blinds the eyes exploding diamonds cut cosmic ties Swirling evil spirals around most of us never hear it's sound Clairvoyants scream on its approach it smiles with guile has no reproach In the melee that ensues some watch TV, magazines perused Oblivious too the worlds ills surf the web relax and chill On the search pokémon found between dead bodies on the ground The smell of rot hangs in the air they ignore screams of despair As buildings fall in jihad plans there seems no-one willing to stand IEDs explode as bullets fly the ones that do destined to die Clinton murders Trump enslaves founding fathers squirm in their grave Casting lies sweet treat bait see who swallows reeled to their fate Bought and sold souls highest bidder as we head toward nuclear winter It's just as well there's no repair a few will survive the truth and dare Tracks of tears cut through the dust but nothing prevents our moral rust or unquenchable lust Damaged goods at first breath poisoned from mothers breast From the ashes a few will climb some will think they are divine Switching gears from pain to love one will fly like Noah's dove What that olive branch may turn out to be I guess we'll watch and wait and see
