Have all archangels left
The heavens
To storm down on an
Unruly world?
It must have then started with
All the mindless killings
Disappearing of people
The sacrifice of children
To a culture of rape and
Submission to strangers.
A split-off group of power hungry
Tried to rule the world
Acting out of shadows like
Sneaky roaches scurrying out
Of the light
Avoiding all who opposed them
Openly
Infecting them with poison
But not succeeding with those
Who worked and prayed
Facing the fanatically stirred-up
Lots and growing lots
Swarming off from huge ships
Like stirred-up rats
Facing a sea of crosses held
Against them
A return to the Dark Ages?
When swords smashed into
Gilded shields
As even gods had their infight
For ruling the universe.
Freethinkers
Facebook friends
Poets and Artists
Spread the truth
But only those with eyes
To see
And not with eyes wide shut!
And only few could read between
The lines
Avoiding lies
Fake news
Stood alert!
A split-up world it seems
Is our only legacy.
Living with bad habits
Rotting to the bone
And a will like a sponge
Will not help at all
Even having conducted
A decent life
Also honorary work will come
To pass.
Afraid you stare at the box
News from a variety of countries
You still rush to do charitable
Work.
Whatever.
You’ll never stem the tide of
Utter lawlessness on this ship
Called Western Culture
To be saved from sinking –
Yes it could be saved
If you act with a strong belief
To defend it.
Had it not stood the test of heavy
Tides for over 1000 years.
Someone shouted:
Good old Europe –
You have to be cruel
To be kind.
