dread hallelujah zombie love
by R. M. Engelhardt
AS GOD IS
My witness God
Doesn't witness
HALLELUJAH the
Hollow of Souls
Poor & Desolate
Hungry & Forgotten
Walking the city streets
At 6am with a shopping
Cart full of nothing but
Dead memories & misery
HALLELUJAH!
THE MOMENT ARRIVED
Of the grand decay of
Magical lands liberty
& justice for all & the education
Of the masses civil rights
And peace
SO
LET THERE BE
REVOLUTION
REVOLUTION
REVOLUTION
& Not another
Fake one this time the
Screams echoing
Onward thru gener-
ation after generation
UNTO DEVASTATION unto
CHAOS UNTO RUIN & WAR
The eventual turning
Which must come forth
Which SHALL COME AND RESURRECT
This nation this world
under the true GOD OF NO GOD
No man of no soul
Tell them of Kilroy
The pusher of buttons
Who shall witness it ALL
And
After the smoke
The clouds evaporate
The radiation descends
Upon the one & all
The rich & poor
Finally making us all equal
The sacred event sacred moment
Of DREAD HALLELUJAH ZOMBIE
Love a love without choice or
Hesitation
SO STEP ON UP & EAT YOUR MAKER
Ω
"AMEN”
