Winged Warrior Poet Acrostic

Sign of the Times

Satellites in space keeping an eye on the human race
Independence in place a parental pacified pallid pace
Gods of war prepare for their cadaverous command
Narcissistic lair in control of the deceptively damned

Obedient in oblivion MK ultra has barbarously begun
Facing fallacious delirium bullets bleed of killing done

Tyrants of time tenacious terminators of our humanity
Hellions in prime pandemic behind a venomous vanity
Evaporating echoes of morality ephemeral of the state

Thespian theological amnesty thermostats that negate 
Idols of invasion indestructible in their satanic structure
Mellifluous minds into evasion ready to rapidly rupture
Escaping evil entities of illusion diner drugs of the day
Seduced by enemies of confusion that are here to stay.

Robert Lindley May 14, 2018 at 1:14 PM You nailed it both with the truth and the superb verbiage my friend. see the events as I read each verse. Evil masquerading as good, and god condemn as if evil. A true gem and a fav......

Eileen Manassian May 6, 2018 at 5:41 PM I see this won, WW, and well it should. Your writing is so spot on about the times we live in. It's sad...one never feels truly safe anymore. It used to be that people were afraid to travel to our parts of the world, but death knows no geographic location. I loved the choice of words and the alliteration throughout. Great piece.
