HIGH NOON



Hot and cold sincerity
Not my gig to judge
I call it as I see it
Audacious at times
No intentions of pulling punches
Echoed threats to Israel
Goading cocky martyrs
“We shall wipe them off the map”
Super powers gather
Foaming at the mouth
Political rhetoric
Full scale snow job
Humming in full production
No problems with perception
Distinct unveiled messages
Coat the massive walls
Insight is a choice
Ignorance
A cowardly disenchantment
Full scale escalation
War of global significance
Brewing at high noon
Grains of sand accelerate
Mankind’s hourglass
Measures our demise
Mortal wounds of conceit
Like picking at a scab
Infection soon shall fester
Self inflicted solecism
The United Nations
Hurdles towards privatization
Yet another step closer
To One World Government agendas
Blasting caps in place
Middle East detonation
As Caliph makes a stand
Rabid tyrant tycoons
Their swords of annihilation
Drawn and poised to strike
This momentous milestone
Anticipated with diabolical patience
Innocent people
Average human cross section
Citizens of the great machine
My urge to beseech us all
You either dig it
Or you don’t
Disturbing harsh truth
Assails us with verisimilitude
Living on the edge
Remarkable days indeed
I pray for all
May thy house be in order

19 He said: "I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end. [a] 20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia. 21 The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.
