this age

[regenerated]

a system of measurements
dawn to dusk
and unconscious nights
this concept called time
a repetitive reality

brought into being
from beginning to end
a finite triviality
created,

mere mortals
flesh and blood marionettes
living and dying
according to a destiny
preordained

our corporate puny fists
clenched tightly
in fits of shaking rage
affront the giver of life

our mouths blaspheme,
expose gnashings of teeth
hate spews heavenward
self-righteousness reigns

this age
this corrupt age
where innocence is ridiculed
fornication idolised
and greed encouraged

the truth quickly
nailed to the cross
lest it reveal our sins
