That Monster We Knew Was Coming Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

That Monster We Knew Was Coming



Fire from the sunshines eye.
Oh how do we continue survive?
All is talk when it comes down to it.
Problems not being solved.
Promises dissolved.
A future still unwritten.
With our children can we even hope to forgiven?
Does god have mercy on the ignorant?
Facing a loaded gun, screaming pulling the trigger.
A forest burning, winds churning, seas rising, the sky dying.
Inviting the apocalypse, and the four horsemen ride.
Insignificant, just an ant under a magnifying glass.
Predicting the probable.
We will come together or fall apart.
Drunk kids playing a game of darts with the world.
What could wrong?
A ding then a dong.
The bell has been wrung.
And still we ignore the sound of the alarm.
Warning signs everywhere you look.
A dried up babbling brooke.
So sudden, what does it mean?
Interpretations of a payed interest.
What's more important that which fills your pocket, or your grandchildren starving?
Living the impossible dream, in a society that only follows those who have wealth and power.
Looks like there's another poor soul to devour.
The reckless endeavor.
A slave to compensation.
Will the unending lust ever fill the void?
Heating up the pool, go ahead dive on in.
Doesn't it feel so good?
The pleasures of bliss.
If we ignore it, does it still exist?
Fools lost in an unending mist.
And when the monster comes for you if I'm still alive I won't shed a tear.
Because you did nothing, and you knew it was coming.
