Armageddon

Our heads so deeply in the sand,
  we thought it wouldn’t come

And would never heed its warnings,
  our denial zero-sum

The result of our inaction,
  this swamp we dwell within

The wolf now shed of Grandma’s robe,
 —Armageddon to begin

That "wolf" could represent many things in todays crazy world Kurt; many working to slowly tear down our constitutional liberties I might add; a short but thought provoking one Kurt!~Che :)
