So this is how it ends,
Last post, followed by one minute of grievous silence,
Remembrance done, bombs and guns roar again, shatter a clear and peaceful lens,
Angels mourn in seventh heaven, devils chortle, immortal burning words their parlance.

Set fire to the world,
Babylon's ancient forests trembled, hearing war's fervent trumpets blaring,
Raze trojan flags, so much for freedom and goodness, terror thus unfurled,
So much for peaceful understanding, so much for compassion or human caring.

Listen closely, foreign ears nailed to the ardent ground, our world gaffs and laughs,
Oh Armegeddon's whore! Declaring victory while supine peace lies chained and yearning,
Annihilating divine, oblivion crucifying truth and prophets like sacrificial calves,
Images reborn again, lives forged by history, hammered pure, adorned in mystic learning.

Job turns o'er and o'er, prophets wail from lost forgotten graves,
As war trumpets belch, blaring combat, declaring "peace is saved!",
Nation razes nation, all o'er this war torn globe, endless rants and moral raves,
Simple folk cower in fear, behooved by strife, peaceful love forever craved.

Moses walks naked past stern sentries, down Jerusalem's cautious street,
Aloft, his enchanted staff held high, offering atonement like a sacrificial lamb,
Noah contrives yet another ark, embarking ere the storm, past God's shimmering feet,
Survive this coming flood, Babylon shall perish, drowned in a sea of unforgiving blood.

Trump it, as yet another fatal hand is dealt,
Dice roll, tumbled hand to mouth, trusting wanton chaos, thus the devils fed,
Cast a pair of snake eyes, fumbling o'er a measured field,  'cross green napped felt,
Gambled lives, those lost pennies and disregarded prayers, lying flensed and bled.

So this is it how it ends,
Peaceful love nailed high upon a  blessed wood, so mystically crossed,
Tattooed egos feint, executioners pocket fame and silver, such technique co-depends,
Repose in serene pastures, shepherded by restful sleep, journey's end embossed.

So this is how it ends,
Dreamy rainbows dashed into dust, crashed by lifelong mistrust,
Exteriors finally stripped away, a recipe of empty lonely trends,
Trek past blazing stars, a barefoot crossing, o'er a prickling starry crust.

So this is how this story ends then,
Godzilla, rising up out of raging torrents, from deep within a burning sea,
Modra, venting billowing smoke, blazing 'cross a torn and blackened fen,
Afire! Afire! Heaven and hell are burning! All up in smoke as far as God can see!

So this is how it ends,
Dreaming rhymes and poesy life,
Praying Archangel Raphael complies and Gabriel attends,
Gravity's mystery, rending lives in two, with its razor knife.

Ponder, all around this sadly tainted world, a tumultuous fight,
So many blistering fears, church doors barred and locked up tight,
Yet still! Deep in the secret folds of a Sacred glen, a Hallowed wood,
Fervid lovers passionately loving there, as blessed lovers do and should.

So this is how it ends,
Earthward we go, then somehow, e'en fly,
Fording God's thoughts and universe, as far as universe extends,
Kings ope Heaven's gate, such rewarding light, where Angels repose and lie.

So this is how it ends, purity finally rising up, all hail!
Mountains crumbling o'er a billion years, degradation an everlasting down,
Rumbling stumbling, lava and ash falling heavy along that conflagration trail,
Submerged in aloof oceans, soaring o'er pearl stars, seeking golden crowns.

So this is how it ends,
Stars spiraling into nova, singing sacred songs on that destined day,
Awake! Venture into odyssey reciting sacred verse, a perilous valley death so rends,
Ethereal palaces and caves, hermitage implanted across this spectral milky way.

So this is how it ends,
Planting seeds under a generous moon, a Holy light in its Sacred guise,
New being new again, so newness vibrates, as Creation so intends,
Variegated Souls all soar, committed to deep space, majesty must surely surmise.
