[align=center]BABYLON.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]We;re living in Babylon day after day[/align]

[align=center]I wish to my Gods there was some other way[/align]

[align=center]The News covers stories too evil to tell[/align]

[align=center]And all of it feels like unspeakable Hell.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]Its all that we hear and its all that we see[/align]

[align=center]Our kids fed a diet of Trash MTV[/align]

[align=center]Who worship the Gods of the greed and the Bling[/align]

[align=center]And Darkness is present in all that they sing.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]Our children are tainted and spoilt to the core[/align]

[align=center]The Mantra they chant is "More give me More"[/align]

[align=center]We fed them technology, that was the goal[/align]

[align=center]With never a thought for the needs of their Soul.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]And Mothers abandoned by impotent men[/align]

[align=center]Afraid that the cycle will rotate again[/align]

[align=center]As children are raised without knowing a Dad[/align]

[align=center]The planet grows pitiful, empty and sad.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]Our Elders confined to a minimal space[/align]

[align=center]Ignored, for they cant even join in this race[/align]

[align=center]The stories they treasure locked deep in their heart[/align]

[align=center]Yet they fought for a freedom that tore us apart.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]I pray for Redemption, for honour and Truth[/align]

[align=center]For peace in the hearts of our misguided youth[/align]

[align=center]Who praise the prowess of the Pimp and the Gangsta[/align]

[align=center]But really he;s just an illiterate Wankster.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center]The ice caps are melting and flowing like tears[/align]

[align=center]From watching our downfall these terrible years[/align]

[align=center]We;re living in Babylon day after day[/align]

[align=center]And watching Humanity slipping away.[/align]

[align=center][/align]

Hey Sister Locsy

Long time how you been.

I particularly like this paragraph from your poem as I was with some friends discussing how the elders are treated in this country so appauling.

MAFFY!

So good to hear from you again Sis blkkiss

Hope all is good in your world.

Thank you for the feedback. I;m feelin very disgruntled with society right now. My little ten year old stepson attacked and filmed by scum on the way to see his Grandma. You know when you got all this Anger but you got no-where to put it? I would like something Bad to happen to all the vicious little scumbags out there. This took place Elephant and Castle but might as well be Anywhere.

So I called on your girl Sekhmet and asked her to deliver some ass busting Goddess stuff that only she knows best. Funny cos I thought of you then...as I always do now when I call on the lion headed one.

Bless you Sis! X

Good poem locs. I really love the last verse - very deep - my style lol!


Yu tink se me dun but me na dun!

"One of the heads of the beast seemed to have been fatally wounded, but the wound had healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast".

Good News Bible. Rev. Ch.13 V.3
