APOCALYPTIC HEDONISM
Enjoy it now for tomorrow we burn....
Apocalyptic Vision
Our world was dying, slow but sure
Whole species gone forever more
The rivers ran with filth and slime
The heavens stained with soot and grime
The poisoned sea, the barren land
And all this caused by human hand
In man`s remorseless quest for power
He pillaged natures sacred bower
Without a thought where it may lead
His one desire to sate his greed
But still mankind was not content
On self-destruction he semed bent
As noxious vapours heat the sky
The crops all fail, the cattle die
The deserts grow, the graves do fill
The famines spread and yet man still
Let populations grow unchecked
While bones of folly vultures pecked
As man careered madly on
Not happy `til his world was gone
Then trouble in the east began
All started by one Arab man
Who saw his neighbours land and wealth
And planned to take them for himself
He sent his troops in without warning
Resistance crushed in just one morning
The nations of the world enraged
In futile talks of peace engaged
To find solutions just and fair
While armies of the world prepare
And so the mighty warlords met
They talked of peace, they smiled and yet
They left that room with war in mind
A reason for it yet to find
Until a fireball in the east
Provoked the slumbering Hebrewn beast
Long suffering they could take no more
The gave that Arab his holy war
Star of david burning bright
Set the Arab world alight
Poison and plague rain from the sky
A million men painfully die
Diseases spread throughout the land
Purposely placed by terror`s hand
And in response, red buttons pressed
While keys are turned, excuses stressed
Resulting in man`s greatest hour
Supreme expression oof his power
To end his world by his own hand
In brief memorial mushrooms stand
The fighting stopped, a silence fell
Black rain quenched the fires of hell
The few survivors looked around
And saw the burned and blackened ground
The land was just a wasteland bare
No man or beast was moving there
But peace had come, the war was done
Though neither side had really won
In fact the human race had lost
And few were left to count the cost
But peoples of the world be calm
Your leaders they are safe from harm
Beneath the ground they lie in wait
Like beasts of prey, consumed with hate
And when the land again is green
They will emerge, a sight obscene
To start the human race anew
To take control, the chosen few
They`ll lead us as they did before
Along the beaten path to War
