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!
