Just as the world tilts forward,
Humanity is set to fall.
We failed to look behind the smoke,
to see the mirror.
We failed to hear the prophet’s call.
**
Just as the dark clouds gather,
Black water begins to rise.
We drown in oceans of filth,
Disguised by the tides.
**
Just as the perverse sustain corruption,
Valleys fill with immortal destruction,
Poison runs through the veins of the vermin.
They laugh, as they feast on endless pollution.
**
Just as the past haemorrhages the future,
Promise suffocates wisdom.
Ensuring prolonged sufferance,
As we choke down a putrid system.
**
Justice has failed,
Defeated. Defective.
Just as the human race.
Corrupted. Deceptive.

Jollyoddbod Poetry
Here I am, and here I'll stay;
Like the moon in the darkness that refuses to fade.
Clouds will cover, but cannot take from my reign;
Mark this as the moment that they realise, as they scoff with distain.
They fell asleep, I cannot be blamed.
