Attacked by untamed beasts, in human form, aiming for the heart and jugular

Draining humaity's life blood

In service to their pharaonic overlords, and underworld brotherhood

Defying the divine rule: Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream

Ergo, mankind's valid and valuable promise, talents, and dreams

Rendered hopeless, hobbled, or lame

In leaderships' depraved zero sum, inhumane hunger-games

The times call for champions and true servants of the long-suffering sheeple

To shepherd nations and teeming seas of bereft, exploited, and plundered people

Albeit, haplessly; heroic minds and spirits are yet to power ascend

All the while, humanity continues to spiral downward, and brutally descend.
