Winter is Coming

Winter is Coming  8/21/2014

There is a little man in your head

And a big man in your heart

But it takes faith to listen

To the quiet conscience of God. 

This is not for sport

And this is not a game

But rather it is a calling

That I never knew to ask.

The earth is crumbling

Beneath our feet

And the skies

Are split with thunder

With nowhere left for us to run

Or hide.

We are conditioned to appease

And we are taught to surrender

Always hoping someone will help

Or that none of it, is real.

But all the signs are here

And the knife is at our throat

With nothing left to cling to

But honor and prayer.

Evil is here

And it is all around

Watching your every move

For any chance to strike. 

Evil is patient

And evil is cruel

Hiding in plain sight

With cold lifeless eyes.

Soulless, spiritless,

Hateful and dead

Multiplying daily

To consume and destroy.

Give not a single inch

And feed not the machine

Existing only to steal

Obfuscate and deceive.
