Black Moon Rising

Black Moon Rising         9/27/2016

You knew it then

And you know it now

From the first lie to the last

Carefully rehearsed

Far in advance. 

If you have no conscience

Then you have no soul

And those without spirit

Will cheat anyone they can. 

Dead on the inside

And rotten to the core

They prop each other up

Anyway they can. 

Coasting through life

On the blood of others

With spoon fed responses

And carefully concocted lies.

How many will remember

The names of the lost

Choked, raped or burned

And drug through the street.

They laugh while others suffer

And they joke

While others die

Always shifting the blame

With another bold face lie.

Let them reap the harvest

Of all that they have wrought

A deadly fruit of evil

Poisonous when eaten

And deadly when caught. 

Let them see the whirlwind

Closing across the distance

And churning up the plains

Unstoppable and undeniable

Ripping up every obstacle

And tearing up the grain.   

Once smug

But permanently defeated

The proud and powerful

Judged, weighed

And humiliated. 

At the last possible moment

Swept away forever

Powerless before God

The liar

And the fraud.
