America

Inside the bars are tuned in

to the Holy Radio Station,

broadcasting the Bible

from Genesis right up to

the Book of Revelation,

interrupted only

by life insurance adverts.

 

On the street, a woman’s tempted

by the babble of an Apple.

Wind, rain and fire

are bringing down the temples.

Men bearing crosses

disembowel the prophets.

The dead are being brought back to life.

Thanks all. Graham, you probably read it right, but Eve Of Destruction is a bit Barry Maguire, or even Harry Maguire.

A brilliant snapshot of the way things are going, Ray. I haven't been there for years. Not sure they would let me in now.

Tight and succinct! I think I would have titled it 'Eve of Destruction' or have I read it wrong?

Excellent Ray.

No doubt she’s vehemently “Pro-Life”; but she has no qualms about Billions of tax $s financing illegal wars which kill innocent babies in their thousands.
