The past calendar year has been a cacophonous clamour overshadowed by ominous storm clouds. It spawned this.
A Parable
By LFM
The Horsemen four we’re taught to fear,
The “quiet ones” we’re told to ward,
But hearken not the storm crow’s cry,
That seeks to blunt both wits and sword.
The children of Apocalypse
Are daughters, and but two my Son,
Worth a dozen horsemen each
Know them both before they’ve won!
Cacophony, the first is called,
Her voice belies her name to thee.
So silky soft, ‘twould rule your mind,
No urges left to fight or flee.
Seductive is Cacophony,
With thrilling words to fill the ear.
She seeks to make a slave of thee
Ere meaning of her name is clear.
And when her voice is all you hear,
This sister’s task is nearly done.
The clock ticks down, the sands run out –
Prepare to meet the other one.
All warning of her onset drowned
By clamour of Cacophony,
Swift and sure, the end has come.
This sister’s name – Catastrophe.
this one is worthy of being the voice of a teacher to his students in the 1700s… timeless and hard hitting.
