Future Things

The winds of the past
have come to lick our
dried bones
The trumpets have
already been blown;
the thorns laid in our path
For the excruciating pain to come was foretold:
the burning sun and the overflown seas,
air yet breathless, water and not drink

The Rulers have heard and not heeded
And time would not credit to any being!
Would our sufferance be such unseen?
