foundations gathering the peons
occults in light the risen tempest
times come and times go
canceling out the ancient eons
the age of aquarius looms ahead
release the sea and forge the evil
Gilgamesh where have all the children gone?
abandoned to the isle of dread
Devils playing in a poisonous field
stirring up the brimstone storm
Christ anoints the heavy brow
layers tainted in sins peeled
inquisition enlightening lies
a truth sent forth to conspire
ancient churches cover up plans
as explosions deafen all cries
believe in the ghost of time

the brutal neocons play chess
pawns advancing blind yet unseen
shrouded in false wicked prophets
the citizens duress
i'm a human being not math in toil
freedom talk to the hand and whisper
secrets spoken like butterfly wings
looking far been sleeping in oil
free radicals galloping powers grow
weve been laden with this cross
count your blessings they're goin fast
bloody come easy go

I had the pleasure of hearing this poem sung, thank you for sending it to me. The song is well sung and brings to life the words you have penned here. Imagery in this poem is awesome, as is the flow in this piece. Thanks for sharing it here.
-
Very well done! The flow and imagery is amazing, the message is well thought out and your theory is clear. the words in this really capture the mood, great write! Thank you for entering and good luck!!
-
This is the darkie that I know, excellent piece you have here. Great writing ^_^
-
Whoa!
This is PLATINUM! Except for the 2012 stuff [which is not a Biblical Prophesy] I love this all the way. Your words, metaphor, historical & societal references are all so dramatic & profound. This is one for the books [or a book!
] Bravo brilliant poetess. This hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves. Keep on submitting this poem to prewrite contests. Someone will open their eyes! 
-
I'm truly surprised at this excellent piece. Your writing is beyond your years, and you are exquisite with your words and form. I'm glad I was sent the link to this poem. Patricia

thanxu i wrote it while i was watching zeitgeist which means ghost of time in german so its pretty much a cliff poem of that movie
-
-
honestly, you did an amazing job with this poem, elizabeth ... I can hardly believe you're only 16 years old ... so much talent ...
your verse responds perfectly to the prompt, and I like the way you are presenting historical facts in such a graceful and masterfully poetic manner ...
you know how to create strong emotional impact through
impressive and powerful vocabulary, touching the core of the reader like an arrow hits its target ...
thank you so much for this wonderful contribution in this contest,
maa

good poem, but not exactly what I was looking for.
-
-
i did my best
-
-
not denying that , but this speaks to me more of an apocalypse than a revolution. of course, i could be interpreting it wrong
-
-
i just want my world to be a nice peacy place (._.)

Only four more years to live eh. Well I had better pick up the party pace. Great write. I especially like the use of "free radicals" and "bloody come easy go".
-
Fascinating prompt for this contest. I love your title, and I think you've done well with the wording - full of images and depth. I'm not used to no punctuation, but this reads fairly well. Many lines I really like.
best wishes in your contest.
-
Hmm, I do like this. It was a great poem, but there was only one part of DP that is clear to the human eye. I really liked your poem, though. Captivating♥
-
Wow!
You're right. This was one of the deepest poems you ever wrote. I see major darkness in this one. Superb!
-
-jaw drops-
I agree with what was stated below. This is very powerful and it leaves me speechless, really.
Simply amazing.
-
Wow, now that is powerful write. I say this one really got my attention. The oil baron bastards have us by the balls. It really is starting to look pretty gloomy out there, wars, greed, hate, freedoms lost, spiritual bankrupt Churches, strange weather, pollution, crime, overpopulation, economic down turn, New world order, crisis.
-
Hello Darkwell.
Some good clever lines in this peice with some good observations. Only thing I would say is sort the punctuation out, but that's me.
My regards, and best of luck in the contest.
