The Era of Terror
The Era of Terror
The Era of terror is upon us- the world is in turmoil
The raging plains are complaining
The need to pray is necessary-
Tornadoes whirl across the skies
Hurricanes destroy whatever is in their path
Tropical storms rally against-mankind
Earthquakes cracks open the earth and swallow up whatever
Lies in its way- The skies turn purple in its agony, saying,
“Let be whatever maybe”-
The oceans will be violent- in its ecstasy
Spewing forth the dead and bringing the earth to its knees-
The world is in an angry vortex so full of vile-
Sinister lies the sullen smiles
Sneering at the approach of man
Closing tighter and tighter until the end-
Come forth and lie down unheeded- let your defenses rise
Give vent to what is- needed
Pray for what is- depleted.
Conquer up a world of calm
Take heed to those whose “pose” to come
Keep a forever -watchful eye
Take heed ‘o’ those- non-seeing and dumb-
For- the age of terror is upon us- the world is in turmoil
The need for praying is necessary- The Era of terror is upon us-
