The enemies of light each march toward death with banners high
One side proclaims the end is near They bow their heads and spread their fear
The other seeks to dominate and rule the world through force and hate
Each exchanged the gift of life for their needy souls and troubled minds too weak to read between the lines Dogmatic chains have left them blind
Indoctrinate Annihilate or lie in wait and masturbate Distorted visions Twistedfate
Clouds have swallowed up their hope Delusion smothers reason But the good news in the grander scheme is that they're here just one short season
For in Creations' corporation their pompousness grows tiring They subtract from the equation and soon may find themselves dispatched to the one who does the firing* *(Pun intended ;)
We are entrusted as the stewards of this world Live without fear... Savor every moment... Make a difference... Let intelligence and passion break the chains of regressive suicidal ignorance
Awaken from the stupor...
from the death march of demented judgmental prophesiers of doom and darkness for they are the enemies of light... traitors to creation
Revel in the joy and miracle of life Use the gifts that you've been given to make this world a better place, a brighter place for all here now and the many future generations
A fine exhortation Edwin - one of your best constructs, I believe. The last stanza is first-class, and also a heart-lifting summation to your thoughts. I do agree, too, that we all have been given a mandate of stewardship for this planet and our small roles in the greater whole. In this, however, many have failed woefully. Blessings ...
You are a brilliant poet Cuddles. I'm in awe of your talent.
I especially loved the pun and the last stanza. So much wisdom in these lines.

in reality, the battle between the darkness and the light, is indeed that of the "judgmental prophesiers," yes, "traitors to creation" and those channeling the brightness of universal being which naturally incorporates planetary solvency ... you poem explores the truism, that negative energy and thoughts of doom only aspire to promote such events from occurring ... only by being positive and exhibiting as well as applying the light of inspired thoughts can we successfully alter the planetary state of affairs and successfully effect the future through positive imprinting of spiritual dna via the cultural collective consciousness ...
I enjoyed this upbeat poem of hope. Seize the day.

Great write, well put. I start with the people around me and remain good to those I meet. I can only hope that my light brightens their journey. Lady J
Very well stated and a good healthy fresh attitude on life. We cannot always change those around us who are the pompous, cruel or hateful but we can be models of what we as humans should be. Great lines and expressive images.
"...a death march of demented judgmental prophets..."
Are we all that demented? because we always are passing judgment and pass unwarranted prophesies.
A strong statement.
