Clear are the writings on the wall
Seen by all who care to look
Looming large and bold
Indelible markers of the goings on
Yellow renderings of the evils
That men do on a daily basis
Yet wishing these were hidden from view
Warnings came from above
Even before today
That we may take heed
The words of our Lord
Meaning for us to live in harmony
But greed and jealousy lead us on
Making many forget the creed
The wall sit silently watching
Only the writings remain in view
They came before to other lands
Not heeded to then as at now
We await the turn things will take
Clearly the heedless are bound for doom
Lord help the witnesses
Of a retribution promised
To test yet again man's resilience
In the face of gloomy doom
Which when it comes
Makes all forget their past parties and fun pastimes
All crying for salvation
Which becomes forlorn
Likened to the wastage of water
Followed by a lengthy draught
At which moment all one does is yearn for the return
Of the good times gone by
The wall sat silent
Offering a warning so loud
For those who care to harken to it
Others too keep up to their ways
Having plugged ears
Blinkered visions
And stubborn minds
These are the ones who shall
Neither hear
Nor see fit to change their evil ways
Believing theirs is the perfect way to live
Until calumny overtakes them on the way
By which time it would be late to repent
