The Gates of Armageddon

on the observation of humanity at a crossroad

Gates of Armageddon by Solomon

In this new day, where shadows dance. Fabricated lies, a wicked trance. Mischievous concepts, they intertwine. As uncertainty grips, like a twisted vine.

The world, it spins, on a fragile thread. As we near the gates of Armageddon, with dread. Humanity trembles, in the face of the unknown. With unanswered questions, we're left to bemoan.

Stories unfold, like a twisted plot. The meandering of chaos, in this tangled knot. But beware, dear souls, of the tales we're told. For truth is scarce, in this world so cold.

In the depths of despair, we search for light. But darkness prevails, casting shadows so tight. The paradise of hope, it seems so far away. As the doom and gloom looms, day after day.

What will become of this fragile Earth? As we witness the signs of its impending dearth. Will we rise above, or succumb to our fears? As the end draws near, and the endgame snares.

Oh, how we yearn for a glimmer of hope. To guide us through this treacherous slope. But the path is obscured, by the fog of deceit. And the whispers of falsehood, that we can't defeat.

Yet, in the midst of this chaos, a flicker remains. A flame of resilience, that forever sustains. For within the hearts of humanity, there lies. A strength that can conquer, even as darkness tries.

So let us unite, in the face of despair. With love as our armour, and compassion to share. For in these troubled times, we must stand tall. And rise above falsehood, that seek to enthrall.

For the world may be trembling, on the edge of despair. But within us lies the power to repair. To rewrite the stories, with truth and care. And build a future where hope is our only heir.

    Thoughtfully, poetic about the doom and gloom as we do not help Mother Earth. Love this : "For within the hearts of humanity, there lies. A strength that can conquer, even as darkness tries." Blessings.
