Ab Irato Poem by Chris Noir

Ab Irato



The world I see, not the world I want,
What I am, not what I ought to be,
The red sky above announces the hunt,
Those who seek freedom shall never be free!

The Man I see, not the man that was,
The wretched, the sick, the vile and the weak,
Share the rule, by rule of mob,
Future ahead seems desolate, bleak.

So I propose....a *DIFFERENT approach!
Uphold the rights the freedoms the law!
Don't let *FASCISM show it's ugly snout!
Don't let the seeds of hate, in hearts of men to grow!

The righteous path will take us far,
The self-righteous one will be our fall!
So leave behind old rage and old scars!
Don't let *MANIACS ever take control!
