In these dark times


In these dark times of trouble and strife.
And endless wars are ingloriously fought, 
Souls get dim and lose their way 
As hopes radiant flame burns pale,
Hate takes over spawning it's toxins 
Dangerously poisoning all it touches,
Creeping amidst a society in disrepair
It's effluence seeping into air without care,
Infecting minds and dehumanising
Spreading insiduous seeds of division,
As mainstream mediaocracy manipulating
Pushes narratives splintering, triggering,
Destroying harmony, spawning racism
Enabling malignent forces of fascism,
Releasing venom across the land
Suffocating happiness with it's hand,
The devil at play with deadly intent
It's odious scent slaughtering innocence,
Commiting murder and larceny 
Showing no mercy, oozing depravity,
From the fear-mongering mouths of leaders
To the hands of conditioned madmen, 
We cannot allow this miasma to spread
Refuse it's mire, before it leaves many dead,
Resistance is the strength we all need
To stop this harm from being able to feed,
Refuse pestilance forces from penetrating 
Until they no longer keep on palpating,
Defy festering hostility, toxic visage
Don't be blinded by indifference,
Keep singing your unrelenting love songs
Vanguish an execration that tries to seperate,
Find ways to dispel the menacing darkness
Instead of bitterness, create swells of goodness,
Tell strangers that they are beautiful
Follow ways more gentle and merciful,
Disable thickening strains of hoplessness
Allow kindness to be your friend,
Feel light, hold on firmly and tightly
Extinguish deflating streams, shine brightly.
