Apocalypse

Winds whisper of apocalypse,
Drying words upon parched lips
Desolate world the sea of drought
Nature screams "murderer" out.

What man will take a stand?
Yester-year slips hourglass sand
The air weeps oil stains,
Seeping chemicals in our brains

Eyes wide open, closed with stupidity,
So death of all mores the pity
Cracker Jack schemes,
Last minutes dreams

The day dawns undead,
History unread
Caring hearts broken
Good deeds unspoken

Lost platitudes
Nonchalant attitudes.
Children fend for yourself,
Line-up to the food shelf

Empty boxes line the stalls
Stomach's rumbling hungry calls
Barren trees,
Fall to your knees

Redemption just out of grasp
fathers of sin suffer for the past
Death Angel wings unfurled
Beg forgiveness for a barren world.
