Babylon Burning

Limp hand outstretched
Desperate to touch the hand of god
Lambs worth of negating and breaking the seals
Wounds that once caused their death
Bursts of light flash forth
Crowns of gold melt into the eyes of kings
Echoes of time forgotten
The higher ground shakes with inevitability-inducing this fall
Collapsed, smoldering empires and dawns markings
The caress of seven angels
To be all and end all...
The burning of Babylon

Merchants weeping
Abominations of earth
Not a leaf rustles
Oceans as smooth as glass
Winds of the four corners silenced
Nature's affectionate answer to our neglect

Blessings of power and riches revoked
Blood spills of every kindred and tongue
THunderous utterances. The revelation
The sun smitten. The moon and stars darkened

Locusts unleashed

Words that were not revealed

The burning of Babylon
