Tilt

Tilt 

Firepower 8/26/2014

A long time coming

And building under our feet

The shifting of ages

In sand and rock. 

The friction remains silent

As the avalanche nears

Getting heavier and heavier

One inch at a time. 

For some it seems unlikely

That we have made it so far

And the silence can fool you

Into forgetting 

The danger over your head.

But just because, it hasn’t happened

Doesn’t mean that it won’t

And just because some are gentle

Doesn't mean,

That they are weak.

A good man holds his tongue

And is slow to judge

Careful and conscientious

Dutiful and polite. 

But even the best of men

Can reach the end of time

As everything comes unglued

And spins out of control.  

The world has begun to wobble

And the heroic age is here

A time for some to stand

And open up their mouths.

There is nothing more precious

Than truth

And the truth

It is everywhere

Right under our nose.

Good is evil

And evil is good  

But even this, cannot last

As the minutes are measured

And disappearing fast.  

They are the weak

Who scavenge like animals

Always searching for prey

Unaware and unprepared.  

But kindness

Is often a condition of strength

And that is where the secret lies

As the end swallows the beginning

And the tsunami hits the shore. 

Come now!

And do not waste a minute!

Because the climactic moment nears

As the good are splintered

And surrounded on every side. 

Lightening comes

And the sky drips with fire

As the whirlwind churns

Furious and demonic. 

We are spared!

And evil consumed!

Just as we knew

And just as was said. 

Come away!

And have no part of it!

The dumb, dead and wrong

As its spasms

And as it flails.
