while god lies sleeping

while god lies sleeping

A Poem by Shane Brooks
"

statement on the human condition

"

the fall of the last sons of man
doomed to see creation begin again

the earth revolts like an underfed county
it seems our very presence tears holes in the sky
arrmageddeons coming coming faster than you think
and the end is extremly f*****g nigh

embrace the twilight
the red demise of the day
the sleeper holds the insight
the sleeper must awake

last fall final descent into darkness
the righteous and the wicked are now one in the same
consequences rendered for the pleasures partaken
killed the soul and drown the flames

the scions will be left to the night
makers of the own demise
would not heed warnings given
so the end is no suprise

while god lies sleeping
we are left to our own device
as the day lies dying
we are led to our deaths
unexpected by those who protected
betrayed us all for the gold

we are doomed from the begining
cursed  in the end
all we are
doomed from the begining
cursed to this end

we are slaves
reap what we sow
our graves
we dug
complacency
led us to this fate

wretched the waste
the murder the rape
gods precious children  all left to there fate
searching for answers to come from the sky
most will die screaming not knowing why
he left it to rot and to rust

all we are
cursed from the begining doomed in the end
all we do
falls to the sea and is lost in the shadow
 

while god lies sleeping the chaos riegns

it's a race which will come first
nuclear war or the death of the earth
will we met our end at natures hand
or release a fire whos flames will burn hot as the sun
