THE RECKONING
Have we not witnessed two centuries of hate
Unspeakable horrors, on land and on seas,
Forced Democracy down on her knees
With barbaric massacres and mindless waste?
Yet blinding hatred brooks no debate;
Intellect revered, with wisdom and peace
Held to ransom, by plutocrats obese
Undermined, Faith flees, carries no weight.
While despots, demagogues, harangue the masses
Slaves to gadgetry and consumer greed.
They serve Mammon with none to intercede
Over a planet bereft of natural resources.
Blithely blinkered in rose-tinted glasses
We ignore the Reckoning - it fast approaches .
