What Rough Beast | Poem for September 9, 2017

David Walby
Are We Not A Fighting Race

War is upon us,
A time of eternal strife is closing in around us,
Thousands will die,
Millions will suffer.

We refused to acknowledge the signs of the Antichrist’s rise.
Now he is here,
What will we do now,
Will we roll over and die into Satan’s clutches,
Or are we not a fighting race.

Can we resist the Deadly Sevenfold,
Shan’t we fall to evil’s’ grasp
With the hand of God,
And the rise of Rome,
Might we have a chance.

Throw off the chains of your race!
We are all human!
Are we not?
Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Jew, Hindu,
It matters not !
We are all in this same hell together.

In a time where corruption is at its highest,
Millions die in the streets,
Children are blown to bits,
Women get rapped in the so called holy halls of the Church.

The New Age Nazis,
The Knights of the Klan,
Remnants of the Confederation,
And Panthers of the Night.

All are mongers of hate,
And servants of the Devil himself.
These are the Legacies of our race,
The human race.
Well I say no more!

Can we not make peace with ourselves and our peers.
Must we fight to the death, over such petty differences.
Mother against Father,
Brother against brother,
Family versus family,
We are falling apart.

Throw off your chains,
Release yourself from pain.
Unite with your common man,
and hold the hands of your previous enemies,
For united we must stand if we are to survive.

War is upon us,
A time of eternal strife is closing in around us,
Thousands will die,
Millions will suffer,

We refused to acknowledge the signs of the Antichrist’s rise.
Now he is here,
What will we do now,
Will we roll over and die into Satan’s clutches,
Or are we not a fighting race.

United we must stand.
