PHANTOM II

The earth, in Unconfined wisdom
Has sought to forgive her many
Unyielding enemies.

Their lack of compassion and judgement,
Smothers the many fading smiles
Of the world's population--
Leading Them to reach for the bombs that
Will bring to Them everlasting Peace.

Pursuing disaster at an alarming rate,
Their world leaders came to Them disguised
In the finest education--Blinding Them with
Their ambitions, slandering Them with the
Very tongue that chants peace.

They stand before Them, unable to make
Decisions that will mark the soul for generations--
Incapable, frightful little men that wash
Their corrupt hands upon the very Consciousness
Of a world They one day
Hope to Save.
