Something’s Coming Down The Road

 

Nothing’s what you perceived 

lying in your bed of roses

Oh, how you’re deceived,

the lies of Moses.


When esculent fruit 

was forbidden high 

beyond the offshoot

up high away from the gadfly. 


You plucked it instead

without warning or concern

opened the devil’s fountainhead,

unravels war, yet, peace unworn. 


Crowing Queens and nighing Kings

now rule with petition and fear

and poverty they sling

and grief an eternal year. 


Something’s coming down the road

where the ghosts meet down at the cut, 

across the forsaken unlivable abode,

 Hell revisited where thine eyes shut.
