Days numbered

 


Our days -

numbered.

Five years they say.

War rumbles

in the distance.

Be prepared they sneer,

breeding fear.

Inspiring the sweats

that wake you

whenever nightmares leer.

 

The ticking clock

in motion,

they speak of war,

as if it is set in place,

No debate, no conversation.

Just blinking timetables

towards annihilation.

 

The end of their wicked fables,

clandestine meetings

around candlelit tables.

Conversations

in darkened corners.

Only ever end with us dead

or cowering at their feet,

wishing for a life more stable.

Don't fall for their lies.

Warmongers, are just like

shit-stirrers at school,

just wanting to swirl up

a tornado in the cesspool.

 

Soldiers march in mournful song,

but more and more

soldiers will always come

once that bell of war is rung,

and when they are sending

our children to kill

or die behind imaginary lines,

remember the lies they told.

They only worship

pain, power and gold.

Gaslit streets turn dark

as the lights bleed out,

and once the abuse is rife inside,

those lights

will never again reignite.

 

Now they say three years.

It's inevitable they scream.

Fuelling their own wet dreams.

Their own fantasy islands

where money pours in

and hatred flows out.

Be in no doubt. They want this.

You can see it in their war-lust eyes,

that's why they shout so loud

in propagandised sighs,

vaporous dust like lies.

We need to yell

louder still.

Stop this thirst to kill.
