Conquests of Mad Prophets

Bill M. Tracer on May 17, 2010

After a long hiatus, here is my newest poetic stream of consciousness creation, bringing together my abstract art and abstract words.

Conquests of mad prophets upon us now descend.

They focus on our 2012 to bring a certain end,

Calendars, Alignments, Number Games, Correlations,

The prophets cry, all point to our impending doom,

Impossible to evade, like elephants in the room.

They could not lie, but push humanity into the tomb,

To an end upturning the world we now consume.

Do their prophetic cautions assuage a change of ways?

Or create in us such keenness, to surely bring today

The very doom their visions pretend to warn us away.

It is good to see you back. The pictures were gorgeous, especially and it is going to be interesting to find out if indeed these prophets were right, or if those who think they understood the prophesies were. I know when I was growing up things we read about in science fiction books sounded like a fairy tale that could never come true and look where we are now. People thought that prophets in the Old Testament were crazy, but the things they predicted came about. People thought many of the early scientists were crazy or heretics, but they were proved right too, but every generation has thought it was the last and Jesus was about to return and He has not yet, so we will have to wait.

Hi there!
