"The Murder Mist" by Carl B Parker

Introduction

This started off as an Ekphrastic Terza Rima, but then saw what the crows were seeing in the painting.

This is Carl's (The Artist) Facebook page, where you can see more of his excellent work.

The music is "End of the World" by Andy Mackay

In The Murder Mist

☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️

Look And See Them Sitting On The Iron Railings

Black Feathered Judges Are Waiting In The Mist

They Preside Over Humanity's Failings

☁️ж☁️ж☁️

These Crows Have Watched This Failing Earth Come To This

As Humans Build Their Machines Of Destruction

Their Future Driving Toward A Final Kiss

☁️ж☁️ж☁️

The Black Birds Collecting Their Information

They Will Make Their Decree, A Final Judgement

And Send Mankind To Its Final Damnation

☁️ж☁️ж☁️

No Way Back, Pollution Clouds The Firmament

Crows Know Answers, Humanity Won't Listen

The Scythe Of The Reaper The Devil's Intent

☁️ж☁️ж☁️

When Humanity's Gone, Earth Will Be Heaven

The Crows In The Murder Mist See Signs Of Peace

Soon Will Be The Day When The Last Car's Driven

☁️ж☁️ж☁️

What Was Coming The Crows In The Mist Could See

From The Destruction Of Man Earth Is Now Free

☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️ж☁️
