Poem: Prophecy

below the glow of the crescent moon
beyond the cold hate of ignorance
perfection lays in hope even if in bondage;
while brothers rage in envy,
suffering truth, moral fallacy and physical ruin
lost in life and tribulation;
unable to shed the fear of death.
countless souls are lost,
inspiration leads to false revelations.
in defeat lies victory!
in prejudice lies love!
in destruction we are immortal!
those who whisper truth are liars!
live and dream in love.
"Hallucination"?
uncertainty and doubt lay with greed
begetting anger and in time agony,
empty thoughts and forgotten memories
pave the path to hell.
gluttony begets famine,
from chaos we find peace in a nightmarish age,
from within a holy Aura flows the perception of horror.
upon the last lunar night,
in a sea of pain we lay in blame
and scream out in guilt;
starring into the distance but focusing on fantasy.
though a hollow comfort to be found
within the conflict of collective choice,
beyond all this...
beyond the "demon" armies,
past the old crisis
and beneath the throne of betrayal;
lies in wait an endless forest of knowledge
to be explored.
