Revelations
by *duckmasta2020

St. Peter's podium to the gates of hell
Kingdom of man fell
Four words slip from four sets of lips
Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The first was given a crown of victory
Shouting, "come and see!"
He rode off on a horse of snow white
Conquest of holy might

The next was gifted a sword to lay waste
Vengeance on man placed
Riding the red horse, ruin left in its wake
War for violence sake

The third burst forth carrying scales
The grain quickly stales
Riding the stallion of blackest night
Famine due to blight

The final one rode forth, scythe in hand
Hades in his band
On top of a sickly mare of the palest green
Death for all foreseen

Harbingers of the finale, come to judge
To man they begrudge
Beholders of the oaths sworn to defend
Slaying all who've sinned


The Path of the Jedi
by *duckmasta2020

Though I walk the path of positive enlightenment,
I tread the dark waters of negative reinforcement.
My philosophical ideals remain firm per their design,
Constantly changing and evolving, for good or malign.
I am fixed upon my course, guided toward the light;
The Darkness in my soul burns everlastingly bright.
Whether the Lord will be waiting to judge in the end
Or I lay at the mercy of a deity I fail to comprehend.
I shall not fear the future or the death that awaits;
The Force is with me, always, in its endless states.

Mars
by *duckmasta2020

Lady of Mars
While you wish for war
I offer you an eternal peace
under the stars
Beneath the earth's core
Passion be a mutual release

A future lost
by *duckmasta2020

I was once told, out at sea
I would go to meet my destiny
But I stayed in denial
on that lonely Isle
The truth I chose to flee

Rain
by *duckmasta2020

You may say you hate it, but I love it when it rains
For me it's like a thousand volts coursing through my veins
I wish it were always like this every day, in every way
But you still pray that tomorrow will be a different day

You see it only as a form of precipitation
I wait for it with breathless anticipation
You claim that it's one of nature's liabilities
Completely disregarding the myriad possibilities

You wish to forget about the feeling as it caresses your skin
I keep trying to tell you that it has nothing to do with sin
It's just a part of life, rocking with the water's pulse-pounding beat
Can't you see the thousands of people dancing in the rain, It's so sweet

It visits us during every season, every month, for no reason
Yet you act like enjoying it is some form of high treason
I hope and I pray that you'll view it differently some day
Instead of staying indoors, drowning in utter dismay

I grow weary of this argument, and if you would allow
You may take these last words of mine, as my solemn vow
You have the right to refrain from partaking in the rain
but nevermore will I stand of you to speak of it with such disdain

It may be cold and wet but mistake it not for being dreary
like the light from the bright sun, it may be just as cheery
Though it may not have what you may consider a mind of its own
Each water droplet, from the first to the last, never feels alone

It seems that I can't quite get my point across to you
But, boy, would you be surprised and delighted if you only knew
The many wonders that the rain brings with it, and even leaves behind
the laughter of the children, the endless rainbow and other magic of it's kind

If you weigh the good that comes from it, you'll see that it outweighs the bad
Someday, you will come to know, that the rain washes away the tears of the sad
Allowing, those who have lost, to better themselves and to start anew
I hope you will realize that the rain is a force of good, just like you

A Silent Prayer for a Ray of Hope
by *duckmasta2020


I remember the times that fly by so fast you can’t even grasp
The reality of the situation until the gravity makes you gasp
Those times we wasted waiting on the whole world to change
The face of the people blurring as our minds seek to rearrange
All the thoughts in our heads that made us dread the Times
Facts racing past a mile a minute just for a few extra dimes
With nowhere to go and nowhere to hide, we seek to divide
Ourselves in enmity and anonymity and not choose a side
But there’s more to life than laying back and taking it all
Watching it all crumble down as the mightiest of us fall

Standing there amongst the burning wreckage of eternity
Hoping for one last chance to make a happy life a certainty
We got to make stand for what we believe and take it in hand
Not letting it rot under the threat of being buried under sand
Let us stand tall and fight back with the hope back in our mind
Defending with righteous zeal and the skill to save our own kind
We’ll call the past the past and strive for the future to the very last
Remaking the world in our image and allowing the dice to be cast
To give life back to that to which we cruelly stole away with no remorse
Until this tale of ours can come to an end and life can complete it’s course
