Age of Babylon
In this age of a weakened king
Who sits on a throne made from the slain
Protectors of our way of life
The enemy closes in
Like a pack of jackals with poisoned knives
We live here under constant threat
One step away from freedom bereft
We exist under constant plague
Where will you be at the end of this age?
But through it all we will stand tall
And face the dangers of things to come
We hold the world against the fall
And end this age of Babylon
The weak king sits and does nothing
But prance about secure in domain
Invaders offer violence
When they strike from the shadows
They whisper their name from hidden lips
Show no fear in their faceless gaze
For this will be their end of days
United we stand, armed response
Unmask the killers and take out the strays
But through it all we will stand tall
And face the dangers of things to come
We hold the world against the fall
And end this age of Babylon
Must we stand firm
And take matters in our own hands?
Perhaps fight terror with terror
To face the plague about our land?
And through it all we will stand tall
And face the dangers of things to come
We hold the world against the fall
And end this age of Babylon
this is the sequel to Kill the Saint

I liked this write from you Hades.
It had a real-world feel to it, (as I
think was its inspiration: tell me
if I'm wrong), and came across as
a call to survival.
Anyways, it was great writing.

this and my earlier poem, Kill the Saint, were inspired by events of today. They are my first two actual political poems.
all that aside, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Check out Kill the Saint, you might like it as well. I provided the link if any were interested.
