prophecy in dark

hold your demons
tightly
so they may comfort you
when the bell tolls.
embrace the beast
within
for it may save you
from yourself
when the end
draws near
and you hear
the harps play
from the sky
as the warplanes strike
down with the fury
of the little gods
within us all.
bode your children well
as they march upon
foreign soil
to wake the screaming hell,
unleashing the beast.
scream the bloody horror
of it all
so each of us
can remember
what it is to sound out
so we may not forget
we once had a voice
that could have ended it all
before it ever began.
