Until Further Notice

A poem from 2017

Until further notice

Life will be tough

You will eat dust

There will be war

You will be crushed

There will be pain

The ground will be cursed

You will be barred from paradise

Until further notice

Buildings will fall

There will be liars

There will be wars

The earth will quake

Your knees will shake

There will be crimes

And perilous times

And you are in the privileged position

You can sit at home and watch this all happen to other people

Through the wonders of 24/7 media

Come, make the deserts bloom

Let the warmongers seek peace

Let pain cease

Let the blessing take over

Lead us into eternal bliss

Build a holy house

Speak the truth

Make us strong

Let there be love

Until further notice

We divide

We sin

We hate

We cry

We kill
