someday

someday

A Poem by RuseInex

cast out of eden

delivered to the jaws of death to a mighty, vicious foe

poison darts in all directions fly 

flying serpents invisible to our eyes

spitting venom from fanged, needle sharp teeth

malicious narrowed eyes, vertical pupils yellowed grained

always at the ready to strike and strike again

eons time passes by

hit and miss,

onward on, we try, try, and try 

our babies cry and die, die, die

throughout the ages past,

eden's portals closed, buried under sands

secrets buried deep beneath our sleeping feet

the keys to unlock linger on the winds

this sphere of earth keeps rolling, spinning around the tired sun

peace on earth

good will toward man

the words ring loud and true every day delivered, 

drowned out by raging sounds of bullets

cries of pain and despair as the world turns

the earthquakes rock, the fires burn our trees

signs light up the sky

enough to make the stoutest hearts to cry

to cope, to lose the awful truth we sink into our minds

our work, our love of pleasure, some of us our pain

peace on earth

far from it, 

it seems apparent

unless one goes into the desert deep

but even there given enough passing time

eventually leads to voices in the air

murmuring things to torment the mind, 

reminders of eden lost

turn rocks into bread

peace on earth of a different kind

the kind spoken by an author whose power guarantees his promises

peace available to all, any one who knows

its not of the kind attainable by mortal man

who constantly employs his mind to invent it

but it doesn't last, it never will, like most inventions of its kind

eventually entropy overtakes by rust and tendrils of decay

another war, due another shortage of world goods

greed sets in and steals the show, 

disease and deaths in tow

manic world with all its systems

peace that's offered since the breech in paradise is the solid truce

between God and Man

good will to him offered by the one offended

available to them in taking

peace on earth, good will toward men

still rings loud and true throughout any season

in the heart available to all for the taking

hard bought one day here to stay

by the blood of his holy son
