A-wake

Awaken and bear witness,    

Taking in the dire sight;    

Of hands of doomsday clock,    

About to strike five to midnight.    

 

Awaken and smell the stench,    

Of the spreading wildfire;    

As it engulfs all hearts,    

Turning integrity to ire.    

 

Awaken and try to hear,    

The cacophonic wails;    

Permeating the stir,   

Abiding along bloody trails.    

 

Awaken and speak against,    

The guile laced hate spoken;    

Or one day you might find,   

Yourself amid the forsaken.    

 

Awaken and take a stand,    

For too high is the stake;    

Lest humanity die,     

And we awaken to it's wake.
