Lucifer’s Laughter

England's Streets On Fire

Lucifer’s Laughter

Those casting angry stones

In riotous random rampage

Abandoned normal sagacity

Of moral conscientiousness

And surrendered their souls

To the enemy’s lies infused

Within their confused hearts

The subliminal whisperings

And malevolent notions

Twisting truths and decency

Produced a chaos of insanity

Spilling waves of bilious actions

Upon once righteous paths

Destroying social dreams

Thus in a miniscule moment

Just as the window shattered

And a child arsonist was seen

When three young men died

Martyred by a driver possessed

I heard a sinister sneer

And Lucifer’s laughter

BRAVO!!!! This should be on the front page of the biggest selling London newspaper...send it in Phillip...do?
I'm with you 100% on this, that photo and Title are Fantastic! People don't realise the sinister workings going on all over the world, one crisis after the other and I can hear the father of lies laughing and rubbing his dirty hands together in gleeful mirth.
Where will it end I ask myself.
I hope you are not too badly affected by the horrid goings on...

Blessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

goodness, if ever . . . the source of evil were self-evident. truly the world is a mess, and frankly, i wonder why we still breathe.

but somewhere, there must be o.n.e. righteous.man.standing. all is not lost, surely.

I like this very much. The image is wonderful. It is also consistant in movement. I really like the way you closed.
