strange forces on the prowl


madmen do us onto petty deaths

to bolster their vicious delusions


from the Kings of the World

down to lone wolf gunmen exploding


faith morals integrity are strained

by the ravenings of the insane


set up your homesteading transition towns

but don't neglect a security force


a village in China once had no standing army

welcomed and cared for all


and were wiped out of existence

by their less charitable neighbors


you can love others

but you can't make them love you


the Earth will never support Utopias

it is only for us


to pass through without losing

the grace our souls and hearts need to sustain against the


strange forces ever on the prowl in heaven and on earth
