A Deeper Rising
His purpose is deeper than what
lies at earth's core
For what it's worth the more he rises
to the surface the more
he breaks chains &
curses
He's layered like a Russian Doll
& the more they poke
the more the
illusions unravel
It's him versus a world behind
the scenes that span
a globe full of battles
I'm seeing flames flashing in
& out back and forth
like strobe lights
A fire has been stoked that
rises from the gravel
while he that sits
above issues judgments
without a gavel
This is a battle not initiated
by he but by those
that don't want
you to see
They prefer blinders for
those they use
like cattle
to block their vision
There are mercenaries on
mission already
in position
waiting for the
word go
They'll never know how deep
the rabbit hole goes
until the bunny
shows its hand
The funny part of it all is
no one knows where
he stands
or with whom
He's been groomed for this
war by generals ranked
in the clouds
ready to bring rain
These strange days are ripe
for change & the fruit
of the souls dark
nights will show their metal
The reign that was destined
& foreseen is something
out of a dream
which is why
they don't believe
Those that don't listen must
feel & only then
will they see
it is all too real
Sometimes the truth is stranger
than fiction for real
it seems
