Deepening Darkness

Deepening Darkness

With the impending dawn

It did not lighten

Instead if improbable

to discern

Behold

the darkness

 did not

 dissipate

but

deepened

A darkness of a century

Flashes of lightning

ghostly muted shadows

spawning behind the clouds

 still darker

darker it yawned

Accumulating  residue

of a lingering hate

terror in the trenches

seeped into the marrow

resentments seeding conspiracies

perpetual vendettas

Sociopathic rage overflow

From a century into millennium

Hope flickered faithfully fearfully

But old habits die hard

darkness widens
expanding

strengthens

Sins
transferred
indoctrinated

from generation to generation

passing  the odious baton

crime strewn path

mutated m/o

The warrior mentality

Stoked and manipulated

Gun in bloody hand

Under a polluted flag
bombing innocent lands
gangsta’s of capitalism

My side is right

Yours is wrong

What crimes I commit
are absolved and blessed

Yours are never forgiven nor forgotten

so no one learns
but a damned thing

The darkness stays

This unwelcome guest

refusing to leave

Because the ism’s we embrace

Cling to our hearts like epoxy

Support the troops
but your not allowed
to ask
what they really do
or even worse
to see

Christmas charde 2015

mass killings

a hospital

schools

center for the disabled

calls for more bombing

Kill kill kill
war war war
like more evil
will not beget
just more evil

Thicker

spreads the darkness

stifling

suffocating

smothering

snuffing

Descending hate

wrath and fury

xenophobia

narcissism

selfishness
self righteous swagger

Utter disdain

for the suffering

beyond the clique

spiraling violence

evil feeding evil

violence breeding violence

The tipping point

 in paris

marketed and manipulated

by politics via the msm

for nefarious interests
very one-sided
of course

Yemen and beirut

swept under the rug

flushed

quickly

efficiently

quietly

ignored

marketed for patriotic propaganda

Devolution

a young species dissolving

rome

easter island

darkness

deepening

consuming

a global

pandemic

2016
a gloaming
that will not break
gloom
doom
unless…
