Siren (In the Dark)

I circumnavigate a resplendent globe.
A fiery tangle of thorns and strobes.
The masses rise up against my imagination.
Diseased, unwashed and tragic devastation.

A siren calls out in the dark night.
A call to arms a way to fight.
Oppressive whispers in my ear.
I'm never scared but yet I fear.

Intriguing piece, Daniel. So much to fear, yet fear which overtakes us is unproductive. Thanks for posting this. Hugs, Donna

good write my friend, i like the last line, very chilling and very true, also exelent use of imagery and the subtulties suggested in 'whispers in ear'. love and light brother
