Rebirth Of Law

Just In Headliners:  
A sinister come-back 
Falsity applies, a genuine bible hack
In a Dracon stratosphere, a reincarnate 
Harsh is a nice word, worst of the worst
Anticipating being heard, spitting at the herd 
You don’t understand how good you’re at it
What awaits us lonely hobbit 
Acute awareness behind lips whistle 
Missiles of angst,  killer of bloody killer’s 
Boasting and blasting warns of crucifixion
Shaking a finger, shaming  on us
And nothing for the souls, they’ve had it
The riff raff became a bore, as he is more
Swinger raising quite a few eyebrows
Mad cow, bird brain, fluish mind bestows
Astral parasites, bloody vampire bites
Make space stagnant, a dangerous empire
Hate beast the top crow eats crow
Painfully punitive now disappear
An emperor naked to the world
Take my eyes for they see the truth
I see the people who live in fear, gone by
Mutilator of words they are lost in the gallows
Take my ears they tire of lies hard to swallow
Stringent ideas, antis’—shït show theatre 
Clique-Nik's tough trumpeter’s end is closer
Brutalist codefest a poser nauseates 
Hope feels buried in alabaster quick sands
Tears shall drip for years in western pools 
Take my breath for I can’t live with fascist fools
In  tyrannical hell where opaque deeds dwell
It's uncertainty smells of rotting flesh
Not a time for the timid of heart
Not a time for summer soldiers 
nor quasi part-time patriots
Perhaps the end of time
or just another existential design
 in a warped world

Congratulations on placing in my contest. I enjoyed the depth of your write. The metaphors are biting and have such truth too them. So many lines resonate, "I see the people who live in fear, gone by, Mutilator of words they are lost in the gallows, Take my ears they tire of lies hard to swallow." These lines the most. Thank you for writing for my contest.
