The End Is Naught

The lights flicker on and off The end of the world was naught There was a time of love But then it disappeared Because all wished for an end that was near Dear one, would you ever listen to me? I used to cry all night Thinking that you wouldn't Do you see the misery? Do you see the tears spring from my heart? Do you understand the words that I utter? Haven’t you heard the world is naught? It feels like everyone around me has lost the battle Because there was no side to take this time Everyone fell into temptation And all humiliation was brought upon the Griffin’s claw A state of bewilderment filled the air And all we ever heard were words That would never sink in And that’s when sin crawled in Nevertheless we watched it crawl and creep Like a snake twisting and turning on the hills He was under and over all of us Everywhere we felt the pangs of depression Because somehow the words coming through Could not heal what the snake had burrowed The people gathered together Trying to figure out all that had happened Somehow they all knew what was to come Soon they would figure out what lies ahead And what lies ahead is forever known by One The disdain reigned upon the earth Never to be seen by those of mirth And we all wait We keep waiting And my heart and body is shaking The world is coming to an end Its quaking Its over its over Tonight we must fight for our rights But the rights are not clear And they sear Hope is out of sight Everyone is gathering up fear That’s all we ever did When we came together The fear accumulating in frail weather We tore us all down And one by one All smiles turned into a frown We were wearing the death crown And everyone around us looking our way Directed us down And the words sprung into light Dandelions fly above our heads No one catches this knowledge We’re on edge Always up, never down --Another collab with my brother David. : )

I absolutely love the Apocolyptic tone in this mesmerizing collaboration Laura. More so, this fascinating composition impells me to evaluate myself, to address the maming and meaning of petsonal conflict, crisis, and conquest of doubt in the perfection of love and life. This is a struggle we all must realize and either succumb to or prevail with the grace of Providence. This poem is an impetus to us all, wake up and win your battles of the Self! The Right to to fight for Light! J.A.B.
