In the Age of Francis and Welby,
all the nations kicked God out
of their hearts and national agenda
And binned Him in their national junkyards
And all the world regressed to the State of Nature.
In the Age of Francis and Welby,
the world at daggers drawn,
Liberty snatched and love and compassion
intractably took a flight to the Darkest Blackness
When hope was murdered, and dreams shattered;
Life miserable and laughter in flight
And wars took over!
In the Age of Francis and Welby,
Famine took over our world
And some resort to flesh and body parts trade -
And selling their children to fence off famine,
Whilst others eat grass to survive.
In the Age of Francis and Welby,
Violence everywhere,
Youth violence,
Gun violence,
Stabbings, maiming, destructions, killings,
Youth preying on youth as beasts in a jungle -
Black on Black;
White on Black;
Black on White
Brown on Brown;
White, Black on Brown
White, Brown on Black
Brown on Black and White;
Men on Men
Men on women
Women on men
Women on women
Straights on LGBQ+
LGBQQIA+ on Straights
Lone wolves prowling about world cities
For whom to attack.
Cells, cells everywhere,
All over West!
But security have gone AWOL!
And terror, tyrants, and dictators
over our world taken -
A world recreated by lords and masters.
The 21st century is the Millennium,
the two watchmen of the vineyard
Went a sleeping and not a fishing, snoring loudly,
Whilst wolves in sheep clothing raided the vineyard
Stealing the sheep, with some scattering
All over the mountaintops, hills, and valleys
And all the world forced to Gethsemane,
And then to Golgotha, and then to limbo
Awaiting His Second Coming.
The shame of the Age of Francis and Welby,
The political Pope and the political Archbishop!
