James Moore Poet Free verse

At The Cusp

At the cusp
Of a wave, a change, a fall
Into total darkness

Here we stand 
Or rather slide
Headfirst into destruction 

And as we fall
Into chaos and dissolution 
We will at last be saved

And in that moment 
What we took for granted
Will be lost

Within the total chaos
Law and order will be established
And with it the end of freedom 

This is the new world order
That awaits when their machinations 
Come to fruit

You, me, us
Reduced to so many parts
Without regard for who we really are

And in the change
As the light of dawn unfolds
Will we be revealed as spirt or flesh

And in the severing
Will we sink or fly 
In terror or relief

This is the cusp
We find ourselves on
As the powers that be extend

And as they grow
And we still have a choice 
What will it be
