The domino effect

The dominoes fall in line.
The hour glass trickles away time.
you cannot stray from your path you cannot get away
for fate and free choice are enemies vying for power
and the domino effect has you within its grasp hour by hour
we all want the end.
armageddon fires and to descend into chaos
for utopian dreams are too hard and too way off
freedom drains away in this technological world
like sand through cupped hands
and the plans of God to save us all are scrawled like graffitti on the devils walls
and towers fall like dominoes to the blasting of bombs
and the sombre songs of our children
who we look after
get sung in the future as a warining to all hard grafters
that human beings want danger and death
and the end of life as we know it
and the end of their own breath.....
