Apokalypsis Visions


While hearing about the US in particular, giving permission to Ukraine, to strike deeper into Russia territories.


Are we as a society, on the threshold of nuclear war?


Apokalypsis Visions


(A lone voice whispers)


A symbolic door stands unopened


That leads to the destruction of liberty of the mind


To the birth of megatons of mushroom clouds of death and bright white light 


And never-ending darkness 

Left in its tide


A door trying to be opened by secret cabals


With spear tipped lies 


A doorway to rows of dirt ridden coffins 


Of all races 

And rows of freshly graves 


For the left behind 

To dig


A passageway to bullet filled skies exploding in a rain of pain


Night and day


A new place where good people turn to ash grey and millions get glazed


A time of no call from on high


As weeping cries

Fill thunderous skies


All this I saw


An emptiness growing and while burning buildings fell


As multitudes of new singers yelled


Alguien nos salve

(Someone save us)


In all that madness 

I saw a tiny smouldering home 


In the rumble


With a yellow plaque

On a burning wooden door


That read and spoke of hope 


It said


Trust in the Lord

He knows your struggle


And as that burning building burnt


As the smell of destruction and chaos swept the land


Announced by drumbeats of fear that shook concrete flowers 


Trying to grow in mounds of little dirt 


A vision was shown 

With such power


My brain hurt and

This I leave you with

In ending 


At the brink of that ungodly hour 


When seas turn from blue to red 


As black skies

Fills with souls of the dead


When violent storms and hurricanes wed


Mankind will be backed into a carefully planned trap


Mapped by those who care not of peace 


With no shame

But with a new world to gain


Names once told

Outlining this 

Familiar to the herd


Now drift like lone icebergs in the cold


When wicked crones 

Fly death bringing drones 


When white flags

Carried by Banner men 

Go into smoke ruined cities


Pretending to show pity 


Turn up

With cages 

Ready 


In tarpaulin covered trucks 

Know there is still hope


For even though countries stand


Hand in hand 

Led by the Cabals


Marching band 


Singing battle songs of war and glory


Behind that metaphorical door 


Hope still

Precariously lives 

With so much to give


Beyond the warm embrace 


Of the ash clouds and death of so many races


The coming of Banner men and their hidden cages 

And a new black sun


For you must march and pray for peace


Pray that door isn't opened in the Middle East


For the cost 

When all is lost 


Will be like in 

The Book of Revelations


But like always 


With a belief beyond the reach of the seven-headed beast


Light will always defeat darkness


For It's what all faiths

Preach for


In the purity of the soul


When engaging 

With their version of the supernatural stillness
