Apocalyptic Signs

Signs of wrath, signs of anger
The world belongs to ashes
A fire descends from the sky
Examining our conscience.

Signs of retribution, signs of reprimand
Gifting the accursed guilty heart
Provoking full force vengeance
With falsifying facts torn apart.

Signs of suffering, signs of confusion
Doomed with fires rising from hell
Connecting the disjointed searching for weakness
Beyond the boundaries, they fell.

Signs of constraint, signs of repression
My shame exposed my pride distinguished
Offering nil by mouth hope
To the eternal catastrophe, I’ve relinquished
