Illustration by @_ximena.arias
This is the end of times.
Kingdom would rise against kingdom
as guns point towards country men
with perpetual colored skin.
Blue blood spilled on walkways,
and heavens filled with false shooting stars-
falling endlessly, passing-on wishes
like a scythe on a harvest day.
It cannot distinguish between ripe and tender fruits
And there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes-
Where mouths thirst for lips
with gospel on their tongues.
Hunger is not only devoted
to empty stomachs.
It also recognizes ignorance as its god.
The grim reaper will knock on every door,
It will arrive at houses uninvited.
Taking everything but gold and silver.
All these are the beginning of sorrow-
but here is a natural man.
All flesh and blood.
Naked in its desire.
Bare-skinned like a babe
on its baptism day.
Needing nothing but to quench
its temporal yearning.
As it watched the world on fire,
heat crawls all over its body.
It is only loyal to its dryness.
The world is ending but here is a man,
void of everything but its lust.
