Such dreams I have had of late,
They seem to point to our world’s fate,
The end of a world as we know it,
Death & destruction, the end of times, not great...
A world of the future, though no technology,
No cars, transportation by foot or bike,
Billions killed or amongst the missing,
No phones; nor electricity,
No government, nothing anymore decided by committee…
Roaming bands, raping, molesting & pillaging,
Families of their children relinquishing,
Just to stay alive for awhile longer,
Hoping things will change for the better,
All debtors restrained with the fetter…
As I read you're describing quite perfectly life in North America in the 1750s. In order to get the jaded public one more adrenaline shot, the drama these days is filled with apocalyptic stories and I am unfortunately, rather hooked on them. Must have my daily dose of adrenaline watching out for the undead.
What I keep trying to point out to everyone is that smart phones, worldwide, have changed news reporting drastically in the last few years, overemphasizing events worldwide to the point where it may seem like things are getting much worse, while it has been reported from the facts that 2013, worldwide, was the best year ever.
I suggest you write down those dream apocalyptic stories so that we can all read your vision and you can become more than just a run-of-the-mill daily poet--a bona fide short story writer that you might even turn into a novel if one is good enough. In 2012, I had enough dream stories to create an entire book.
That sounds like our government Today not giving a rats ass
Substandard leadership, bunch of clowns in both houses of reps
Bur I must say pal your write is outstanding great to see u back on your feet
Peace be with you
Many roads lead to this destination, and we
seem to be on all of them. In the words of that
wise philosopher, Mr. Pogo, "We have met the enemy--
and he is us."
A bleak outlook for sure but I often "see" this when I am quite awake. Starkly awakening and thought-provoking verses, Ed. Love, peace, and best wishes,
Pray for the light. Pray that you last that long. The Long Hour Before Light is a classic collection of Horror tales, re-mastered by Champagne Book Group
Grab those side-irons, saddle up and join former Civil War sharpshooter Luther Henry for a ride into pure terror, western-style…think ‘Wild Wild West’ meets ‘The X-Files’.
