Hydra

Hydra    9/9/2015

Dead in the water

And floating face down

The used and useless

Wasted and dumb. 

By the time you feel the teeth

It is too late

And all you can do

Is roll over

And die. 

Choking on your blood

And gasping for breath

We gurgle and strain

Until we go limp

And die. 

Caught by the throat

Are the sleeping fools

Lambs before the slaughter

Thrice warned

And blind.

Is it foolishness?

Or is it by accident?

The methodical plans

Of evil men. 

Words can tell you everything

But, so also can silence

Giving away every treachery

Deep, disgusting and vile.

War on the good

And war on the innocent

Sacrificed to the little gods

Of hypocrisy and guilt.

So smart, we are dumb

And so foolish, we are blind

Ruled by committees of sycophants

Befuddled and effete.

Come and find the watcher!

Look and find the dead!

Springing forth are each

From a single drop of blood. 

No force can stay our might

And no enemy can kill our spirit

The gift once given

More than enough

And forever. 

The end of the beginning

And the beginning of the end

Each part written  

And each one the same.

Awaken at the voice

And listen for the clues
As time always shrinks to nothing
Once it's done
And once it's through.
