Day of the Jackel

Shadows of the past so dark, upon us now' I note' and if you'll hark.? an image of anubis past Will kiss the hand, of Britains caste A geriatric and a pagan lover. UK'S new king.' maybe the last? The product of an ever absent mother Gives creed to every kind of god; to smother.' Drugs are rife, and sickness reigns To the sound of raucous jubilant strains Strands of reason, are derided its decided.! The genus of image, shall it satisfiy us? How deep we've sunk in this abyss Embracing reason is frowned upon Whilst we edifiy the greatest wrongs.'

So many things are upside down in our world today, but they do have a way of turning themselves back around with time... An expressive and thought provoking piece, Joe. Great work!

Hello Len, I just got took off on This one.' Certain identitys were Presenting in my mind, and then I made a phone call to a pastor And upon asking him a question I was answered that he had been puzzling over this very thing I said what was on my mind and it put together the picture for him.'
