The Oracle !

Ukraine / Poetry

--------------©--------------

Worst is yet to come! 

Sayeth the Oracle!

Through the mouths aloud, 

The faces concealed in shroud.

Those who suffer are faceless, 

Those who fear are helpless,

Those who observe are senseless,

And the mighty are shameless. 

Lust for power,

Lust for revenge,

Lust for killing, 

Makes them so strange!

No one is worried, 

No one is concerned,

No one ever bothers,

No one ever is bothered.

Lust ends in loss or gain,

No one is scared of death!

The soul is already dead,

The body is only a living corpse, 

Hope is already gone,

No matter what's the outcome!

The thrill is there for ever, 

The excitement is ever anew,

Most will be no more morrow, 

Beasts will be left a few!

Will have a feast day and night, 

Till then let us engage in fight, 

Let us kill each other,

Let them have the supper.
