In Articulo Mortis

My oldest piece, not my best, but a classic non the less.

At life�s last breath


Requiem for the planet earth.
Staring death�s bright angel in its somber grave face.
The fetor of life stifling every mans breath.
Deathbell tolls in a cacophonic earsplitting resonance
That falls muted to each ear.
Blinded and deaf are those that stumble through each day
as if to hide from the truth.
O my brothers,
Wake from your opium dreams of myopic intellect.
Awake to see yourself as the executioner
preparing to impale the earth with your carnal desire.
Submerging the world in a sea of blood to appease your lust for power.
Behold, the panoramic view of this fouled planet.
Comprehend, the fathom of your heinous acts.
Atone, for your gluttonous self-indulgences.
For the fate of the earth is in your hands
and its glowing candle of life may soon blow out
by the winds of Armageddon.

taste like Armageddon ready to open every door and let lose the floods of repercussions humanity has wrought upon itself by its careless abusive overusing greed~ a strong poem that pushes itself through any and all illusions humans sorround themselves with as to the actuality of what is happing to our world and us~
