Anarchy

Abecedarian Lawlessness

Anarchy

Bloody, horrifying anarchy

Cries of death

Demonic laughter

Empires blazing into ashes

Freedom's an unattainable dream

Godless, lawless, hopeless

Hypocrisy at its finest

Ignorance is a blessing

Judgment day is here

Knowledge can't save us

Liberation's beyond our grasp

Maledictions have come to fruition

No chance for redemption or salvation

Oaths mean nothing

Peace lost its voice

Quite that delineates calamity

Righteous? Or Selfish

Savors don't exist

Tomorrow offers no promises

Unfailing fear

Vengeful anthems

War is imminent

Xennials are recruited

Yell your sorrows

Zion stopped listening

    "Malediction" is such a good word 😁

  • Painfully apt for any & every age. When Jesus pronounced his little apocalypse with wars & rumors of wars, signs in the heavens & portents in the earth--has there ever been an age since the dawn of recorded history that has not fit his descriptions? The question becomes, how do we find hope knowing that not only is this the way the world typically works, when it's been different it hasn't been for long?

    This is why men love to fight wars. The sheer ecstasy of pumped adrenaline. I felt that in your poem.

  • This was just so tragic, intense and devastating! It was poignantly beautiful!

    Not a hope of redemption here.

    Very good. I agree with Heather - the last few lines really got the message across!
