Shunned!
Some people see life's life
While living within a land, of
Fantastical tales....
Secured by their very own securities
Of harmony and comfort, and inward views
As all about them countless lives
They perish....
Amid wars, famines and disease!
Passing these flowers unto one another
And assembling their own
Mesmerized by the blind
Which covers their eyes
Causing these cankerous sores to grow
With peace signs of bright and lovely
Like hollowed kisses....
To one and all, and all
That they truly do not know?
Bequesting others to join their legacy
Or to be cast out, as an outsider is
Unto these, of perceptions lies....
The generation, of the foretold
Amid the prophecies, of ancient old!
While the jackals
Feast upon the flesh and bones
The countless tears of lives and souls
As if evil, never did reside
Within, their painted rainbow minds?
Join us upon our journey
Of these flowers within our hair
While skeletons choke upon the crumbs
Left dying, before their gates
Devoured, by the darkness' despair....
Come be a part of us, they sing
Aloud, within their chorus of pretties
Or forever, you shall be shunned?
By this generation of the once foretold
Within ancient visions, of the prophets of old
As they pass their cups of crimsons, now
Unto their very own, and their very own, demise!
For they could not see beyond the veil
Caught, within these winding webs
That spun themselves, deep
Within their own dying eyes
Where God and Christ....
The only bearers of true "Light"
Were long ago, and forever...."Crucified!"
And hell itself, became the science fiction
Of their fairytale....
The signs and the times, of
Peace and love, and, flowers and lies
While millions they perish
Before their muted minds; deceived
As they live within the comforts, of confined
Unto these not so self-imposed
And naive, prisons walls
The final generation, of the woes....
Wilting flowers, of the prophecies foretold

Shunned!
