In the Darkest Hour

Orchestrated plots from the birth of corruption Meticulously cunning, blue print semantics Shadows overriding sheer manipulation Much more to its sleeves, sly gimmickry and antics Overlapping smokescreen piling up to its feet Diversionary tactics, garden variety Principles dropped, conceded an utter defeat Distraction thirsts for blood, hounds for the killing spree When darkness overcomes the illumination Claiming a population, an epidemic By the hundreds on process of elimination Resistance is futile to such obvious logic Retaliatory, uprising insurgence The masses’ response with strings attached Casted under a spell, hypnotic indolence A fearsome adversary, no other can match Time’s in fast changing pace, turning the wheels of fate Right up into the very heart of society An impending apocalypse spearheading straight The core that dictates man’s unending enmity

Sadly, you have accurately depicted the current state of our beloved land, kabayan. Actually not only in ours, many others as well. Happy weekend! :D Kim
