On their quick-step march to resource-driven conflict, and wars of planetary extinction
In consonance with discordant beats, lacking goodly sound, or distinction
Nations are all on the brink, as the countdown, nears the dreaded zero hour
Leadership touts unclear paths to restore man's equilibrium, well-being and power
As, titanic ships of state, flail, teeter and take on water
The powers that be, implacable and merciless, yield no quarter
The Fraternal Order of Cain, disdainful of the brotherly, common good, by and by, will crumble; cease to reign.
