Hailstone Crowns


“Fire” alarm sirens
are going off [the audible radar]
stealth silently
Those living deaf 
can’t receive
the incoming Death warning

Sky chariots on the roil warpath
are thunderclap rolling
Propaganda leaflet droppings
did foreshadow 
their cursed dire coming

Ordnance jewels are falling
from hailstone crowns — 
“All hail the GOAT kings reigning now!”
Greatest oppressors of all Time
be they wearing 
the onion-shaped tiara frowns

Ordinance rules of engagement
are Red Wedding,
royal carpetbagging bound

Apocalypse horsemen
are furiously
galloping on the wind

Drone pawns of fierce kings
herald their “Mass grave” arrival,
using the Queen’s language 
of utter conquering

But their avowed crimson joy 
was much shorter than anticipated
As the “end of days” came swifter than
hydrogen clouds bursting

And the heaven wept decree, 
(rainbow sealed in the ark of the Most Holy,)
passed final judgment 
on their torrential “nuclear peace” iniquity

In the dark twilight 
of an enriched uranium dawn,
Mushroom poisoning sown 
is the rad grim reap scimitar gathered

Can you hear the celestial Hallelujah shouts:
“The evil hailstone crowns are bottomless pit falling!”
Let righteous brimstone rain down on them
for snuffing out those mercy cries mournfully calling

Scarlet sobs plentiful does a barren 
nuclear winter harvest yields 
Hailstone crowns are terminally falling
upon pauper dirt fields


			~

While at the same twinkling time and better snowflake place,
salvation tears are dropping 
on lullaby earthen beds
of innocent blood shed 
Those awaiting their saintly awakening  

And an angelic transformation
is Resurrection Day coming — 
That halo beautiful waterfall mist rising
