The Black Lagoon

The Black Lagoon           1/24/2018

Murky, warm, and fetid

Deep, dark, and Moldy  
Sucking down 

And gurgling up. 

Home to the snake

And home to the rat

Swarming with insects

And debilitating disease. 

Full of parasites

And sycophants

Drooling for blood

And preferential position. 

Sucking down

Any and all

To eat their flesh

Clear to the bone.  

Much has been lost

But the secret remains

All from one

And one from all. 

Hidden inside

The last surviving good

A remnant of hope

Hunted and hated. 

And that is why

They want us dead

Not just for money

And worldly power. 

For that they have

By their empty souls

Picked by loyalty

And sworn to Satan.

Do not look back

But only to the light

For many have fallen

By promises

And greed. 

Lean on the Lord

Safe under his wing

Holding his hand

In darkness

And despair. 

He shall deliver

In less than an hour

Victory from death

And justice from horror.
