WHO KNOWS
who knows
what all humanity lost there
what lights to lead
us into the future
were extinguished?
little lives
unlimited possibility
lost in one fell swoop
i cross the devastated lives
and, landscapes, burning
in the flames choking on
the smoke of war
watch and listen
moving steathily from
video to
video
hear that this
is all about force-feeding
the world the need
to express deliver
the fulfilment
of prophecy
arcane mish-mash
of ancient promise, necessary
alignment,
second coming and
those of exclusive,
brutal faith
sheep and goats, meek
and, powerful
those who hear themselves
called and
those who
believe what the heart
cannot but feel
so here we are
with Mary, and her last
tattered gospel
telling us what it is
that
in this dark, dark
world
keeps
the connection, keeps
us
knowing
who, what we really are
in essence,
despite everything
