Ditch a Drench

'The sky is falling,
The sky is falling...'

Will you please shut up with that!
Those are masks...
Being snapped off the faces,
Of those who chose to hide behind integrity!
Highfalutin maniacs have been trapped,
By their own self-righteousness.
On the alert and being attacked.
Those who took their immaculate visions...
To unbelievable heights,
To finance their whorehouse ways.
They have become frightened.
Disguises reveal their masquerades

Get use to what you see.
Soon reality will be witnessed,
Splitting to separate...
From the sea of Unprecedented Fantasy.
That rocks them violently from their luxuries.
And the remnants of a swelling tidal wave,
May be the last effort to ditch a drench...
To knock many back into their lost senses.
Desperation becomes their mode of operation.
To save false 'fronts' from disasterous dilemmas!

And who knew...
So much of this would be in public view?
To silence those quick,
With judgements on others to pass.
And the standards of values like their own...
Coming upon their own shores,
Finding these times to fall down and crash!

Watch your step!
So much is yet to pour from this storm.
However...
Enjoy these days ahead.
Much of what you had endeared...
Will appear to prepare the clearing,
From your clouded eyes!
And that...
Ironically enough,
Is where the real danger lies.
You and the others,
Have never before experienced the affects of truth!
And the onslaught of 'that' can be quite startling!
It has been tried in the past,
To make many of us the victims of these disclosures.

And...
Of course,
Many of us have managed...
To maintain our composure!
And that, my friend...
Is a miracle to document for the archives!
