Fast Forward

 Fast Forward                   3/28/2016

Time flies

And collapses downward

Forced inward

In a vortex

And pushed out a pinhole.

We live

And we die

But we are much more

Than what we see

And touch.

Tell the truth

And the world will hate you

But stand behind it

And they will plot

To kill you.

Burning with hatred

For all they will never be

Bought and sold

Ten times over.

What a beautiful thing it is

To live in the open

Unafraid and honest

Warts and all.

But the cowards will hide

And cover up their hatred

Sealing every record

And hiding their views.

Pure poison

Dripped into a glass

Putting us to sleep

Forever.

Sometimes we try

And sometimes we lose

But even the worst of failures

Is better than inaction

And tacit approval.

We circle the drain

And spin inside ourselves

Ever downward

Faster and faster.

The kingdom

Has never been closer

Than at this dark hour

Because the greatest of victories

Always follow treacherous evil.

Death is dead

And the past

Has fallen away

The shame shattered

And all washed away.

It is finished

And it is over

The victory already won

For once and for all.

Let them rage

Before the glory

As they make their final plans

Futile, wasted

Dumb and dead.
