30 Days Of Poetry Season 3, Day 12 "When Monsters Prosper " Pix Inside by lyricalpontiff(m): 1:18pm On Jun 12, 2017 |
WHEN MONSTERS PROSPER When monsters prosper Pain strangles the lean neck of our land And we squirt tears into God’s eyes Then move on with faces like broken glasses As our dreams groan under tyranny’s feet We lie stifled and silent in cold grip When monsters prosper Prophets read the spreadsheet of future in error And prophecies miss the road like stray bullets The shame is a heavy cross to carry Until nerves come to breaking point Now the world awaits a greencard to be torn When monsters prosper The world deals its final blow On the sorry faces of disgruntled wailers What should one make of God When one’s prayer grow mucor in his KIV drawer And all you can is ‘it is well’ When monsters prosper We shall enthrone the villain And armed masquerades will dance in cathedrals A deluge will certainly come A raging flood of zombies will overrun the land And corpses will surely litter the streets When monsters prosper Pray you don’t walk on corpses on your way home The moon will be painted red and stars black And soldiers will run mad with anger Before thunder deroof the world Then bullets will be sweet melody to our ears When monsters prosper He owls shall lead the choir of night and day Bats will stand sentry at noon Plus vultures will head the jury You better mourn the sick world upfront Because monsters will toss the globe on their middle finger. When monsters prosper They shall rise like a penis in erection Blood will flow down the puffy cheeks of the land Because monsters are hungry for blood sacrifice Just read the signs in the eye of time Monsters will see the broom and Passover.
