Armageddon Cycle

Watch the sun rise

On this:

The first day of the

Apocalypse.

Scury to your shelters

In vain;

The retribution is near.

Cockroaches are destined

For greater things

Than humanity,

The roiling mass that

Encompasses everyone but

The humane.

And the sun is rising

Like the axe of the

Executioner;

Inhumanity the cringing

Convicted.

The Divine Wisdom

Mandates who must

Suffer for their lives,

And who has paid

Enough.

The sky is not on fire.

Yet.

The seas are not boiling.

Yet.

The earth has not split.

Yet.

And there is no respite.

Ever.

Pain may lie by the

Riverside,

But it is in the river,

Above the river,

Along the river,

Of the river.

It is soon to flood

And overflow the banks

Created of greed

And hypocrisy.

The dawn may be

Clear, but the sunset

Will be crimson,

And no shepherd of men

Will take delight in it

For today the world

Created by excess and

The grace of humanity will

End.

People are a plague

On mankind;

Our sole redeeming

Feature our

Willingness to commit

To suicide.

Well...

I say redeeming' in

The clear and solid

Knowledge that we're

All quite DOOMED,

And all that this is

Is the seduction, the

Elaborate dance performed

In order to

Destroy us more thoroughly.

God bless this land.

So this is the first

Day of the Apocalypse.

Well now, don't straggle

People, nor struggle.

We have a full schedule

Of events to get through.

There's tennis and pain,

Rowing and damnation,

And OH!

Don't forget to

BURN IN HELL.

No day is complete

Without the screams

Of the guilty as

They're entertained with

Hot irons.

Gives me tingles

Just thinking about it.

Why not go over

And say hi to

The Big Man?

The personal touch is

Always appreciated, I find.

Look, he's been chewing on

Those three for aeons now.

The Apocalypse; it's a

One of a kind event.

Chance of a lifetime.

Don't misunderstand;

You've had the chance

Of having a lifetime,

Now you can only sit here

And watch your lifetime

Flash before your melting eyes.

Hope it isn't boring.

Don't worry, you'll be looked

After.

For ever.

Oh yes, and as I mentioned:

Burn in Hell.

The plains of Megiddo

Are charged with

The energy of the world,

Set to explode.

Everything is tensely at

Rest.

The calm before the

Eternal Storm.

There will be no survivors

Of this fallout;

None worthy of existence;

Cursed by blood.

The sun rises slowly on

The first day of the

Apocalypse...

The razor's edge has never

Looked so thin.
