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. April.23.2018 Sign of the times Sponsored by: John Hamilton ...my thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims, family and friends…of the horrific Toronto truck massacre chain of events that happened April.23.2018… to the Toronto Police, first responders, and pedestrians who had to witness this great tragedy…for these are truly sign of the times…

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......

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.

These signs of the time paint a worrisome picture. But as you say....Narcissistic lair in control of the deceptively damned...and..Tyrants of time tenacious terminators of our humanity..you have captured the essence in your usual artistic style..best for a win, WW!
