Another year has come to a violent end
yet again the people do not disappoint
death destruction chaos misery abound
nothing different to those times before
as always nature the master of mankind
with other malicious forces is entwined!
Another unknown year is about to start
here we go again into the twilight zone
full of uncertainty where nothing is clear
so may I just add Happy New Year!

Bright flashing Christmas lights are everywhere you turn
families enjoying the ever-increasing expensive fare
the time when Peace and Goodwill should be around
prices rising yet expectations by excited children high
to what they want to receive from old Santa Clause
do the youngsters appreciate just how lucky they are
when once modest presents were given and enjoyed
now expensive gifts are demanded simplicity is void!
Unbelievable still today another side to the season
many without anywhere to live or money to spend
struggling to survive facing cold and no prospects
each with a different reason for their state of living
desperately lonely a society not keen on giving
where many rely on benefits and charities for hope
especially at Christmas when compassion is sort
adding mercy love and a genuine kind thought!
That season is here prices higher than ever before
the affluent have no real care for those floundering
not for them food banks their only way to eat
nor fearing the court bailiffs banging on their door
is it not a myth the season of Peace and Goodwill
as death and destruction of humanity is in overkill!!

In a split second there had been an explosion
here he stood on the edge of a drop
his office had just disintegrated where he sat
no warning of the impending disaster
fire a major hazard as he struggled to survive
hoping his world would not crash dive!
There had been several loud explosions within
yet as he desperately searched
to reach the emergency exits heard the noise
saw helicopters with no insignia
hovering as if observing the carnage unfold
the event planned and controlled!
He had not heard of any warnings of an attack
as the smoke and dust billowed
becoming hard to breath in these toxic fumes
vision was limited as at last
headed down the stairwell of the office block
another explosion made it rock!
Fire rescue met the small group he had joined
in their long perilous descent
from ninetieth level to the upper ground floor
fearing they would not make it
with help made their way to a triage base unit
where traumatized could sit!
Heard the emergency services discussing openly
the destruction that surrounded
the once large commercial and banking complex
some said they had seen missiles
others certain military type unmarked aircraft
facts withheld as news was broadcast!
Though the official line was terrorist aggression
a unified statement was issued
with film of planes melting like butter into steel
such loss of life everything changed
conflicts division misery and terror zoomed
technology in our lives mushroomed!
Truth had no meaning anymore as advertising
through every electronic outlet
guided our way of thinking in certain directions
we believed what they wanted
as evil could be peddled on a massive world stage
emotions easily raised to hatred and rage!
That young businessman delved into what occurred
never any history of depression
his mind opened to secret societies and practices
just wanting the truth and honesty
ten years after that apocalyptic event he was dead
depressed could not face life it was said!
What transpired did he find out more than he should!
Is this another conspiracy theory?
#TheFoureyedPoet.
She could not perceive the forest fires
had burnt her wonderful house down
at great expense made fire resistant
from her scorched drive watched it
as its destructive power consumed
the vast area obliterated doomed!
The wind had swirled in all directions
certain had seen rapid bright flashes
aimed at properties in defined bursts
as suspicions within began to mount
groups of neighbours found the smoke
was making them cough and choke!
In a state of panic observed those passing
stressed agitated faces with no smiles
evil crept amongst the distraught victims
unaware that it was no accident
their homes were targeted by an enemy
towards us had no empathy!
So the vast forests became just like hell
destruction but in a strange pattern
appearing houses were gone nothing else
like precision targeting applied
there was an organised plan being applied
humanity and truth put aside!
It was like the beginning of mankind’s cull
but they had no idea of this reality
thoughts nurtured to believe whatever told
never to question any authority
resistance was eliminated if not conforming
as dark forces were swarming!
Confused pondered was it a theory or reality?
#TheFoureyedPoet.
From the air nothing moved in the rubble
after the months of pounding
no building from shells bombs and artillery
was complete thousands had died
bodies still lay underneath the ancient city
anybody there could only feel pity!
High definition images made it look surreal
a once proud and thriving culture
following the same paths as their ancestors
caught in an international conflict
that did not care of the human lives or cost
so many generations ever lost!
He was powerless sent to record the aftermath
of this brutality and utter carnage
he had seen it so often the pointlessness of war
the displacement of the survivors
torn from the only lives they had ever known
their plight captured by a drone!
The people of the world watched then moved on
shocked yet this was but one story
destruction and domination was not new to man
this had always gone on the few ruled
over the masses who suffered at their cruel hands
upon us peasants in all the earthly lands!
Until man is eradicated himself from existence so be it!
TheFoureyedPoet.
The rumours spread as the clouds swirled
each minute danger grew
that maybe there was more to the weather
as the skies screamed in anger
certainly was not a natural act of nature
but a man-made disaster
had brought such terror and destruction
was the growing deduction!
Increasing hurricanes began to formulate
as the population began to die
unimaginable weather patterns emerged
clouds combined with earth
the landscape rapidly swept away in floods
all infrastructure obliterated
weather was added to the misery of living
who upon man could be so unforgiving!
Around us there is darkness expanding fast
what evil upon us has been cast?
TheFoureyedPoet.
Held hands bewildered at what surrounded them
shocked covered in thick dust
could only hold on to each other both survived
the huge blast that killed so many
children that did not understand such carnage
or how adults had such rage!
In their short lives had only ever known destruction
warfare that took families forever
born into the putrid odours of death cries of anguish
that never ending wail of mourning
funerals and standing by grave sides of loved ones
and choking smoke filling their lungs!
Now they were alone their home and parents murdered
as a missile struck their only sanctuary
while both outside the explosion shattered many lives
parents and grandparents a brother to
lost evermorer being so young just could not understand
as together stood hand in hand!
TheFoureyedPoet.
Where have they gone those days of fun
to be out with the family in the sun
simple times no television families talking
then no fear of monsters stalking
all together each Sunday for dinner and tea
that filled everybody with glee!
No expectations or need for material wealth
or trips to the gym for your health
plenty of plain food and that afternoon walk
happy then to simply sit and talk
computer games and smart phones yet to be
both hands and thoughts free!
Countryside unspoilt with no motorway blight
or endless buildings to block the sight
any news was not broadcast twenty four seven
holidays not abroad but sunny Devon!
but even then warnings of world destruction
were not broadcast like a film production!
Cannot deny it was far from a perfect society
far from that hope of propriety
to me seemed more contained not in your face
life was at a far slower pace
enjoyment was more simple the pressure less
no buzz word then known as stress!
But every decade has its ample recollections
filled with countless imperfections
catastrophes that shape the course of history
distressing cases that remain a mystery
so each new dawn we face a fresh blank day
to see if our lives continue to replay!
TheFoureyedPoet.
Is there a malicious unseen agenda
that does not want unity
where humanity would join as one
instead of our destruction
intent on fanning the flames of hate
when people want to debate!
Dividing the masses for the privileged
creating fear and mistrust
taking us away from a righteous path
into the depraved depths
when we know not what is happening
a scenario for many baffling!
Death and chaos is a daily occurrence
the threat of total anarchy
your neighbours and friends the foe
everybody filled with mistrust
as understanding slips into that abyss
hope evermore we shall miss!
Or is the turmoil part of an ongoing plan?
The Foureyed Poet.
Returning to that special spot we cherished
this time on my own
that romantic and magical day together
by the tiny riverside cafe
there proposed to the only girl in my life
to be my loving wife!
Only anguish greeted me at what was here
nothing remained of our dream
rubble and new town filled the rural scene
acres of lush grass and trees
obliterated by busy noisy polluted highways
gone those quaint byways!
My pressures lady had passed away recently
she would have been dismayed
to see destruction of rural land lost forever
that memory had lived in us
of that enchantment in our hearts those years
brought me to shed rare tears!
Bringing her ashes to scatter at our paradise
which now existed no more
returning to our once happy fun-filled home
to keep them close to heart
so she was always near me her love to share
even when our children were there!
The Foureyed Poet.
