Will Of The Watchers
Post

Before our Mighty Man Beast
Could properly take his place
We sent horsemen
Pale ones at that
Plague , war , and famine
Each galloping back-to-back
Dark spirits within machines
Commanded our legions
To ride against the sky
To bring the rising tide
Upon our will
We locked nations in place
As they saw their Hero Devil
Enter from beyond space
An all-consuming dragon
Worshipful Man Beast
In his business suit
Guarded by guards
Ready to shoot
Standing atop Solomon's Temple
While crowds gathered below
Begging for peace
and seed to sow
Now that he is installed
The proles are enthralled
He will satisfy them
And create room to grow
Yet his solutions
will cause dissolution
Intricate draconianism
With proper pandemonium
Will usher in our ultra-ocularem
Our time has come
Our will be done
On New Earth's Covenant
As it is in the Blue Print
Behind God's Black Door
The cycle's end
Has come once more

A triptych of the apocalyptic ecliptic. We need the cryptic styptic of realistic statistics or the the sadistic ballistics of artistic mystics will leave us autistic. Wait, I already am. Enjoyed the binaural frequencies encoded in your poem. Can't wait to tell Q.

the foreboding now hindsight, yet remains a warning for the future.
I enjoyed the flow of the piece which delivered its message concisely.
