Image for the poem uncivil war

uncivil war

 
the cosmos hushed and my mind awoken
the prophets have fallen
the times are telling

I will not usher in the darkness
insidious forsaken in your plight
falter not on the way to salvation

the plagues are upon the land
the climate is changing
the glaciers are melting

plant a seed of hope today
see it trodden upon tomorrow
the wheat is set fire to

inner turmoil and fear rule
trample your brothers
rape your sisters

stop

instead demand change
it starts with you
foundations are crumbling
uncivil war is coming
shake the stars from their seats in the heavens
make them hear

kill the sleeping dragon
he sleeps within us all
the thief of knowledge
breaker of traditions
cult of nothingness
or be ashamed

united we stand divided we fall
the nine houses tremble

harm not your own
