APOCALY[SE WHENEVER

Apocalypse whenever
By james a. galgano

Down past the ominous shadows of Calvary across desert towards Mecca's tomb
From each wailing-wall where ancient rites still heedlessly prevail portending doom
Caught within a downward spiral carried through the ages by delusional prophecy
Like descending dominoes strewn from almost the beginning of recorded time
Resigning all fate to some ridiculous biblical decree surrendering to inevitability
Without even a struggle to overcome or at least delay succumbing to wicked crime
Committed in the name of ever non-existent god man has ever created in its name
Upon every altar within every temple or sacristy without a thought what will occur
In each unholy name or idol upon which humans fall upon bended knee to proclaim
As if it were secured by some inscrutable fate surrendered to be devoutly procured
By some unsavory sacrifice believing by such fidelity one enters into heavens gates
Which rapidly close so quickly behind leaving all hope and dreams forever resigned
Beneath rubble of vainglorious anger, consuming distrust and overpowering hate
Humankind's future precariously lingers unfortunately forever upon clinging vine
