Here They Come

here they come
visionaries of our time
friends from the old 
yet feeding on our ignorance
subtle as they are 
they lurk privily for their own lives
their net spread in the sight of any bird
taking away life of owners thereof
for the haste to shed blood
their destruction like a whirlwind
deceitfully accruing to themselves
