End Times
(Some lines inspired by Psalm 129)
(07/08/2006)
Though my back is cut to ribbons,
With their cold and heavy whips,
Yet I stand unshaken,
Though, shattered are my ribs.
Life is getting darker,
With every passing day,
With compassion and love fading away,
And money coming into play.
The cows are killed for leather,
The elephants for their tusk,
There’s no more green in the garden,
And the weather is getting hot.
The bills are rising higher,
But my pay remains the same.
I haven’t eaten many a meals,
But I’m wearing Levi’s Jeans.
The world is coming to an end,
Sooner than it’s time,
Feels like He's given up on us,
And our selfish empty lines.
USA looks bold and strong today,
But it’ll crumble down one day,
Cities burned, people killed,
It’s all gonna end someday.
Everything seems futile,
Like King Solomon once said,
Being the man of multitude strengths,
I wonder, why he felt what he felt.
May be its time we look further,
Beyond the icing of this cake,
Set our eyes firmly on him,
And not on the roaring waves.
Futility and darkness,
Overtakes us once in while,
But set your eyes on the Universe,
It’d gladly be your guide.
