BEFORE THE END OF THE WAR
WHEN EARTH WAS INVADED
BY UNKNOWN FORCES
FROM OUTER LIMITS
SEEN ONLY BY TELESCOPES
ON CLEAR NIGHTS
A LONG TIME AGO
ABOUT 2000 YEARS
AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION
WHEN DAY FELL INTO
THE LAP OF NIGHT
AND LUST LICKED ITSELF
TO SLEEP FROM SIN
NOBODY CARED
ABOUT MONKS ON ETHER
OR PRIESTS ON BOYS
OR POLITICIANS CAUGHT
WITH THEIR HANDS
INSIDE THEMSELVES
OR DEAD CHILDREN
WITH MAD MOTHERS
AND STONE FATHERS
ON CHEAP WHORES
BEFORE THEIR AGONY
APPEARED IN UNSCIENTIFIC
TERMS TOWARDS THE
END OF THE WORLD
WHERE MISSILES AND MIGHT
FROM THE UNITED NATIONS
VANISHED LIKED DANDELIONS
INSIDE THE EYE OF THE STORM
AS CHURCHES TUMBLED
AND MONEY DID NOT BUY OUT
STILL PALLID PEOPLE WEPT
FROM FEAR AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHEN SUNSETS BLED BLACKNESS
RIGHT BEFORE GOD STARTED IT
ALL OVER AGAIN
