Powers
Powers
Are shifting
Across this world.
Who are the losers?
It is soon to unfold.
Their fruits tell the story:
No more will they say
The west has won.
Done their dash.
Cooked goose.
Loonies
Rule
The roost.
Forgetting
What made them great.
Disgracing the name
Of His Sovereign Son.
Drawing His people into the mud.
Filling their bellies;
Stealing my gold.
Oppressing nations
Now
They
Must pay.
Time is up.
It's on its way.
Knocking at their door.
Number One has made the call.
