There's An Evil Wind A-Blowin'

War - what is it good for ?

There’s An Evil Wind a-blowin’

The War Winds are a-Roarin’

Hear the fiery-eyed War Hounds hungrily

Howl, growl and seductively bay ?

Hear the Sacred Prayers a-spinnin’

Beggin’ for New and Better Beginnings

While the War Hounds bound out to plunder and play ?

Feel the Beasts from Within a-risin’

Feel the Man-Beasts rend and rip all Reason

And Common Sense to ruin ?

Feel the restless Evil Energies a-stirrin’

Feel those Destructive Impulses and Urges tear

All Civility and Humanity away ?

See the bloody, Life-less Children

Fly-covered mounds of rotting meat

Flung out upon smoke filled streets ?

See the Mamas and the Papas pitifully screaming

Curses to Seen and UnSeen

Known and UnKnown Enemies

See them frantically rocking and wailing to and fro

Clutching their Dead Sons and Daughters

Brothers and Sisters close to their Broken Hearts

Clinging to their loss and defeat

Their Hopeless Travails ?

Rasping out tuneless Lulla-byes

And UnExpected Good-byes ?

Smell that Urge to Kill ?

To Murder Civilizations ?

Smell the Poisonous Elemental Fusions

Exploding in, and fiercely buffeting the putrid air ?

Smell the burning conflagrations ?

Smell the Fear Sweat and Despair ?

Taste the acidic bile a-risin’

In choking Human throats ?

Taste the bitterness of Poor Decisions ?

Crippling Judgments ?

Selfishly Greedy and Ethically weak World Leaders

Making the Earth their personal Scapegoats

Sin Eaters for their Sins - which became Globally Shared Sins

Their Game Board of Planetary Hubris

And terrible Cosmically evocative Jokes

Sense the Enemies from WithIn

And Enemies made WithOut

On the Hunt ?

Stalking still ?

Out for the Kill ?

Sense the Gales of Dark Oblivion

Of glutting and purging Societal Murders along the way ?

Ah, there’s an Evil Wind a-blowin’

The War Winds are a-Roarin’

Hear the fiery-eyed War Hounds hungrily

Howl, growl and seductively bay ?
