RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: END TIMES
Abyssinia (Ethiopia)
A scourge has come to Abyssinia
Rebellion on the plains of Eritrea
An explosion of deadly virus
A plague of locusts
A swarming mass of refugees
On the border of Sudan
On the horn of Africa
The birthplace of modern man
Become a place of misery
Surrounded on all sides by war
Hunger famine hopelessness
A land of genocide and hate
A land ravaged by drought
Where failing crops are consumed
By hordes of hungry insects
An ancient timeless land
Where the four powers of the earth
Converged in times forgotten
Where the world’s enduring religions
Collided in blood and fire
Where legends sprang from the well
Of a long lost land of sorrow
A land become forsaken
