The Race of Mankind

The black night turns red Wolves consume the gentle doves Upon the hole of the cobra The whole world in disarray Male and female, he created them In peace and love they dwell time –pass Upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake The waves dashed into boat And became submerged Downturn in event we see as Males become females with feminine accessories Females become males with masculine accessories The whole world becomes blind Dwelling under the vine of a mere snake And under its fig tree

"The whole world becomes blind" So true! Reminds me of Sagan's Demon Haunted World.
