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-

Nice write, but do consider how long humans have prayed for peace and prosperity . . . . . .

Thanks, and we as humans have still not learned to be consistent and faithful.
