“Evil was active in the land”

Glenn Hughes quoted from H.D.’s Trilogy

Missiles clashed mid-air 

Maimed and murdered unhindered

Scientists everywhere

Refined digital highways unclinkered

Signals from space needing no space

Feeding electronic games driven by dashboards

Deployed in clouds over the battlespace

Or underground or in the open air

Evil was everywhere

Here it’s overt there it’s unclear

Hard to stay free once it permeates the air
