Armageddon's Reply
You have no need to fear me,
I need not come.
The eventuality of your demise
lies well within your greed born lies.
Desire for land, wealth and power
spoils everything as it sours.
At first the words spill forth
stern rhetoric and ill retorts.
Then befalls the famine, war and death
while lies and accusations spew from your breath.
Some close their eyes and pretend
this is just a turning point around the bend.
It is the inner circle that knows
that truth is full of hate and loathing undisclosed.
There is no need to fear Armageddon's prophecy
you are your own destroyers defeated by hypocrisy.
You have no need to fear me,
I need not come.
