The Prophecies of Asu: New Year’s Revolution
Edited on Fri Jan-08-10 01:03 AM by shadowknows69
Hearken to me children if your ears take the dare
Gather and listen to the Prophecies of Asu.
That is my name and my tale now begins;
Please, take a chair.


I bring you no tale of happy new years
Instead a story to bring about fear
Freedom’s perilous dance now a pirouette
Dangerous cycles continue, no change as of yet

Government all but usurped by greed
Feeding the Lords’ never sated needs
Walking on bones beneath their golden feet
Those who fought for their wealth broken
Sleeping homeless on miserable streets

The Kings of Freedom have merged
Unholy alliances made. No ticket to the club
Unless you can buy, kill or cheat your way in
There’s the rub

The rest will be left to fight for scraps
My children will eat each other to live
Survival of the fittest between the least fit
And Kings sitting on high with everything to give

But the downtrodden will arise.
When there’s no hate left for themselves
Eyes will turn to shining castles
And other palaces the Kings may dwell

Three choices will befall us on that day
Stand, be slaves or die
When left no other choice or way
People will find their own flag to fly

Wiser heads can still prevail
Or, I fear, only blood and fire
If they learn that all wealth will pale
Compared to a desperate people’s ire

When Freedom looks like feudalism my end is near
The monarchy expelled by patriots has returned
Not just a single Lord writing our fate
But a conglomerate of Kings
Buying our loyalty with deceit and fear
You, the people, heed these lessons you’ve learned
Or, I fear, for Freedom, the years are growing late

I am Asu; I tell only what I see
A possible future or one that will never be.
-Asu

1.  Arizonia State University 's 2010 Prophecy Class????
Who's Asu?
Do you know when it was written and was it supposedly channeled?

Thanks

2. I just wrote it. Asu? He/She's a mystery.
Channeled? That's pretty much how I view anything I write.

3. Highly creative writing, it also has a
feeling of timelessness to it and certainly applies to where we've arrived at.
Very Arthurian.
I've bookmarked it.

4. touchin on it
oh asu it seems you know well
that the secrets hidden of heaven and hell
that above and below, that they're all the same
that disinformation is their game

they'll do this with fear, with ridicule and death
if they can, they'll take our last breath
but we who have searched know that it's true
that killing the dream is what they can't do.

So, in I first post, I will not drag on;
in the fight for the now, I've only begun.
I will so far say thus:
The Real Meaning of 'I' is Us.


Namascar

Virala Rajah
