"What Next, Mystery Babylon?
The World
burns with a fever
tongues of Babylon
sing too late
they sing like
a river run dry
divining rods
searching for
the last drop
of truth
throats cut
and bleeding out
their legacy
the innocent
still in their infancy
mothers and fathers
laying plans
hiding behind religion
speaking as gods
consider themselves
righteous messengers
married to Moroni
their true angels
sacrificed
each one on
a Monday
candles taken out
undercover by
the slender man
and his
unholy shadow people
the darkest temples
rubbed raw
on a Sunday
The World
burns with a fever
will it ever end,
waiting
for the fall
of Mystery
Silent voyeurs
from the court
of a different realm
The children now
speak their truth
praying for
the Zombies’
due reckoning
a greater power
will see that justice
through
the zealous fabricating
the story’s reason
cut into pieces
what was truly divine and good
two Light Angels were
slaughtered
and objectified,
cut with a clever
dispersed and hidden
without ceremony
to never more
be seen or heard
a secret kept in faith
the devils made a pact
the burned-over district
buried treasure on
the eastern side of red
a soul’s revival
wanting to be found
like those manufactured
missing golden plates
Hell's fever fed
Religiously
Madness feeds the fever
and watches smiling
The World burns
it’s such a sorry revelation
humanity’s true disclosure.
What next, Mystery Babylon?
When will it
all end?
(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)
with so much LOVE and sadness
for Tylee and JJ and any other child
who loved and trusted adults
who betrayed them
in the worst possible way.

"I saw the woman,
drunk with the blood of the saints
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.
And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement."
"Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for the Kingdom of God
belongs to such as these.
Truly I tell you,
anyone who will not receive
the Kingdom of God
like a little child
will never enter it.”
